Alaska is 271× the size of Chachoengsao
Alaska (state of the United States) covers about 1,505,000 km² (581,000 mi²) and Chachoengsao (province of Thailand) about 5,550 km² (2,140 mi²). Below, both outlines are drawn at one scale and centred on each other.

What fits
- Chachoengsao fits inside Alaska about 271 times by area.
- Alaska is larger by 1,500,000 km² (579,000 mi²), which is 27,024% of the area of Chachoengsao.
- Measured in Belgiums: Alaska is about 49.1, Chachoengsao about 0.18.
How they differ
- Alaska also has the larger population: 733,000 against 721,000, 1.02× as many people.
- Per square kilometre that is 130 in Chachoengsao against 0.5 in Alaska: Chachoengsao is 267× as densely populated.
- Their centres are about 9,410 km apart.
- A standard web map misstates the comparison: Alaska at 64°N is drawn about 5.2× too large and Chachoengsao at 14°N about 1.1×, so the map shows Alaska as 1,332× the size of Chachoengsao instead of 271×.
- Together Alaska and Chachoengsao cover 1,511,000 km², close to the size of Mongolia (1,565,000 km², 3.6% bigger).
- The gap between them, 1,500,000 km², is about the size of Mongolia (1,565,000 km²).
- At Chachoengsao's density, Alaska would have 195.5 million people (it has 733,000). At Alaska's density, Chachoengsao would have 2,700 (it has 721,000).
- Alaska's centre is 50.4° of latitude, about 5,600 km, farther north than Chachoengsao's.
- Alaska is the largest of the 51 states and districts of the United States and covers 16% of its area; it is the 51st most densely populated of them.
- Chachoengsao is the 40th largest of the 77 provinces of Thailand and covers 1.1% of its area; it is the 34th most densely populated of them.
- Alaska lies about 50° of latitude (roughly 5,600 km) north of Chachoengsao.
- Shared out evenly, each person in Alaska would have about 2,052,560 m² and each person in Chachoengsao about 7,700 m².
- Laid side by side, Alaska and Chachoengsao would cover 1,511,000 km², 97% of the size of Mongolia.
- Together they have 1.5 million people, 1.04× as many people as East Timor.

Sources and method
- Outlines
- Natural Earth, 1:10m Admin 1 - States, Provinces, public domain
- Boundary
- De facto, as drawn by Natural Earth. A region is drawn whole, every island included; a country is its main territory.
- Area
- Measured on the WGS84 ellipsoid from the full-detail outlines, shown rounded.
- Drawing
- Each outline is projected with an equal-area projection centred on its own centroid, so areas stay true and the two can be laid over each other.
