How they differ
- Brunei is larger, but Chachoengsao has the larger population: 721,000 against 459,000, 1.57× as many people.
- Per square kilometre that is 130 in Chachoengsao against 80 in Brunei: Chachoengsao is 1.62× as densely populated.
- Their centres are about 1,770 km apart.
- On a standard web map Chachoengsao looks larger than Brunei: Brunei at 5°N is drawn about 1.0× too large and Chachoengsao at 14°N about 1.1×, so the map shows Chachoengsao as 1.02× the size of Brunei, when Brunei is 1.03× the size of Chachoengsao.
- Together Brunei and Chachoengsao cover 11,300 km², close to the size of Qatar (11,200 km², 1.0% smaller).
- The gap between them, 167 km², is about the size of Marshall Islands (165 km²).
- At Chachoengsao's density, Brunei would have 742,000 people (it has 459,000). At Brunei's density, Chachoengsao would have 446,000 (it has 721,000).

- Brunei ranks 173rd of 246 countries and territories by area.
- 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.
- Chachoengsao lies about 9° of latitude (roughly 1,010 km) north of Brunei.
- Shared out evenly, each person in Brunei would have about 12,460 m² and each person in Chachoengsao about 7,700 m².
- Laid side by side, Brunei and Chachoengsao would cover 11,300 km², about the same size as Qatar.
- Together they have 1.2 million people, about as many people as Djibouti.
- Counted as a country, Chachoengsao would rank 173rd by area and 166th by population.

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.
