What fits
- Lopburi fits inside Alaska about 232 times by area.
- Alaska is larger by 1,499,000 km² (579,000 mi²), which is 23,129% of the area of Lopburi.

How they differ
- Alaska is larger, but Lopburi has the larger population: 743,000 against 733,000, 1.01× as many people.
- Per square kilometre that is 115 in Lopburi against 0.5 in Alaska: Lopburi is 235× as densely populated.
- Their centres are about 9,290 km apart.
- A standard web map misstates the comparison: Alaska at 64°N is drawn about 5.2× too large and Lopburi at 15°N about 1.1×, so the map shows Alaska as 1,126× the size of Lopburi instead of 232×.

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.
