- Their centres are about 6,890 km apart.
- Together Comoros and Bangkok cover 3,240 km², close to the size of Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (3,320 km², 2.6% bigger).
- The gap between them, 108 km², is about the size of Maldives (109 km²).
- At Bangkok's density, Comoros would have 6.1 million people (it has 902,000). At Comoros's density, Bangkok would have 844,000 (it has 5.7 million).

- Laid side by side, Comoros and Bangkok would cover 3,240 km², 1.16× the size of Samoa.
- Together they have 6.6 million people, about as many people as Serbia.
- Comoros is drawn from 64 points and Bangkok is drawn from 40 points: at sizes under 2,500 km² the outlines are a sketch, so the overlap shows the proportions rather than the exact shape.
- Counted as a country, Bangkok would rank 183rd by area and 116th 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.
