What fits
- Bangkok fits inside Campania about 8.64 times by area.

How they differ
- Campania also has the larger population: 5.8 million against 5.7 million, 1.02× as many people.
- Per square kilometre that is 3,630 in Bangkok against 428 in Campania: Bangkok is 8.48× as densely populated.
- Their centres are about 8,660 km apart.
- A standard web map misstates the comparison: Campania at 41°N is drawn about 1.7× too large and Bangkok at 14°N about 1.1×, so the map shows Campania as 14.3× the size of Bangkok instead of 8.64×.
- Together Campania and Bangkok cover 15,100 km², close to the size of East Timor (15,100 km², 0.0% bigger).
- The gap between them, 11,900 km², is about the size of Vanuatu (12,300 km²).
- At Bangkok's density, Campania would have 49.0 million people (it has 5.8 million). At Campania's density, Bangkok would have 670,000 (it has 5.7 million).

- Bangkok is the 69th largest of the 77 provinces of Thailand and covers 0.3% of its area; it is the most densely populated of them.
- Campania lies about 27° of latitude (roughly 3,010 km) north of Bangkok.
- Shared out evenly, each person in Campania would have about 2,340 m² and each person in Bangkok about 280 m².
- Laid side by side, Campania and Bangkok would cover 15,100 km², about the same size as East Timor.
- Together they have 11.5 million people, about as many people as Tunisia.
- Bangkok is drawn from 40 points: at a size under 2,500 km² the outline is a sketch, so the overlap shows the proportions rather than the exact shape.

Sources and method
- Outlines
- Natural Earth, 1:10m Admin 1 - States, Provinces, public domain. The outline of Campania is the provinces Natural Earth draws there, joined along their shared borders.
- 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.
