What fits
- Bangkok is 94% of the size of Guadeloupe.
- Guadeloupe is larger by 93.5 km² (36.1 mi²), which is 6.0% of the area of Bangkok.
- Measured in Belgiums: Guadeloupe is about 0.05, Bangkok about 0.05.
How they differ
- Guadeloupe is larger, but Bangkok has the larger population: 5.7 million against 384,000, 14.8× as many people.
- Per square kilometre that is 3,630 in Bangkok against 231 in Guadeloupe: Bangkok is 15.7× as densely populated.
- Their centres are about 16,100 km apart.
- Together Guadeloupe and Bangkok cover 3,220 km², close to the size of Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (3,320 km², 3.1% bigger).
- The gap between them, 93.5 km², is about the size of Maldives (109 km²).
- At Bangkok's density, Guadeloupe would have 6.0 million people (it has 384,000). At Guadeloupe's density, Bangkok would have 362,000 (it has 5.7 million).
- Guadeloupe's centre is 2.4° of latitude, about 270 km, farther north than Bangkok's.
- Guadeloupe is the 16th largest of the 18 regions of France and covers 0.3% of its area; it is the 5th most densely populated of them.
- 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.
- Guadeloupe lies about 2° of latitude (roughly 271 km) north of Bangkok.
- Shared out evenly, each person in Guadeloupe would have about 4,320 m² and each person in Bangkok about 280 m².
- Laid side by side, Guadeloupe and Bangkok would cover 3,220 km², 1.16× the size of Samoa.
- Together they have 6.1 million people, about as many people as El Salvador.
- Guadeloupe is drawn from 94 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.

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.
