The faster people, who lives here, learn that Thailand, is the Land of [FAKE] Smile, will have a much better life and have it easier to find local people that are true friends and just as willing to help you, as you are to help them.

Finland as mention above, and other Nordic countries are often high on all of this "happiness surveys" and why, well how I see it; high taxes [spread evenly amongst its citizens] gives true welfare and trust, which has the byproduct of true happiness and not just a upward movement on your lips.

I just read three times as many Finnish men as woman commit suicide, so maybe there's a boner problem ?

Afghanistan is more renown for its one and only golf course, all bunkers are mined so most golfers, if they should land in one are only too happy to drop the ball outside the bunker with a loss of two strokes.

Tongue in cheek mate, but it often seems like expats have too much to complain about 

[TWS60]

Be interesting to see the breakdown between rural and urban people - if there is  a difference to discern.  

Farangs in my area seem to have overcome the bar shutdowns by drinking at home with an internet cable plugged up their arses, pumping their heads full of miserable grievances.
