Thailand has undergone rapid changes over the years resulting in desirable and undesirable outcomes. The objective of this paper is to study and analyze the resources and needs of household on changing in objective well-being over the past 10 years in the Northeast of Thailand. The data in this study is derived from quantitative research with two surveys conducted in 2005 (n=421) and 2016 (n=253). The samples were selected from using multi-stage sampling techniques and the data were analyzed using descriptive statistics. The findings show that there are many developments in resources and household needs to change in objective well-being over the decade. Land use is decreasing while there are more people with health problems from certain ailments. The obvious positive impact on well-being can be seen in the basic needs and security aspects. However, there are both positive and negative repercussion on social relations. This study found that the Global Happiness of household is increasing. Therefore, this study suggested that better health care should be considered in the development plan especially for non-communicable diseases (NCDs).
