Bangkokians prefer being happy
About three out of four Bangkok residents support Prime Minister Surayud Chulanont's plan to put people's happiness before economic growth, an opinion poll revealed on Tuesday.
And some 89 per cent said they thought a new government should be set up to promote the theory of a sufficiency economy.
The Abac Poll was conducted over the twoday weekend. Some 1,509 respondents were asked about the appointment of Surayud as interim prime minister who said he preferred people's hapiness than GDP.
About 64 per cent said they approved of Surayud as leader. The approval rating doubled on Sunday's announcement of his appointment, in comparison to a day earlier.
The survey listed the three top priorities the interim government faces as the rising cost of living because of high oil prices, violence in the far South, and corruption.
