How they differ
- Bhutan also has the larger population: 787,000 against 742,000, 1.06× as many people.
- Per square kilometre that is 203 in Rayong against 19 in Bhutan: Rayong is 10.4× as densely populated.
- Their centres are about 1,980 km apart.
- A standard web map misstates the comparison: Bhutan at 27°N is drawn about 1.3× too large and Rayong at 13°N about 1.1×, so the map shows Bhutan as 13.3× the size of Rayong instead of 11.0×.
- Together Bhutan and Rayong cover 44,100 km², close to the size of Denmark (42,700 km², 3.1% smaller).

Sources and method
- Outlines
- Natural Earth, 1:10m Admin 1 - States, Provinces, public domain for the region; Natural Earth, 1:10m Admin 0 - Countries, 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.
