This study aims to explain the relationship between socioeconomic factors and physical health and happiness outcomes of the Thai people. The study specifically investigates the differences between health and happiness outcomes of people who live in urban and rural areas in Thailand. Unlike results found in other countries, income is found to not affect the level of happiness of those who live in either urban or rural areas. Urbanization is found to have no effects on physical health, but it does have an adverse impact on the level of pleasure among Thai people. However, overall happiness levels of those who live in urban areas and those who live in rural areas are not statistically different.
