What fits
- Phrae fits inside Iceland about 15.5 times by area.
- Iceland is larger by 95,800 km² (37,000 mi²), which is 1,452% of the area of Phrae.
- Measured in Belgiums: Iceland is about 3.34, Phrae about 0.22.
How they differ
- Iceland is larger, but Phrae has the larger population: 437,000 against 364,000, 1.20× as many people.
- Per square kilometre that is 66 in Phrae against 3.6 in Iceland: Phrae is 18.6× as densely populated.
- Their centres are about 9,430 km apart.
- A standard web map misstates the comparison: Iceland at 65°N is drawn about 5.6× too large and Phrae at 18°N about 1.1×, so the map shows Iceland as 78.4× the size of Phrae instead of 15.5×.
- Together Iceland and Phrae cover 109,000 km², close to the size of Guatemala (109,000 km², 0.2% smaller).
- The gap between them, 95,800 km², is about the size of Liberia (95,300 km²).
- At Phrae's density, Iceland would have 6.8 million people (it has 364,000). At Iceland's density, Phrae would have 23,000 (it has 437,000).
- Iceland's centre is 46.8° of latitude, about 5,200 km, farther north than Phrae's.
- Iceland ranks 108th of 246 countries and territories by area.
- Phrae is the 31st largest of the 77 provinces of Thailand and covers 1.3% of its area; it is the 67th most densely populated of them.
- Iceland lies about 47° of latitude (roughly 5,200 km) north of Phrae.
- Shared out evenly, each person in Iceland would have about 281,090 m² and each person in Phrae about 15,080 m².
- Laid side by side, Iceland and Phrae would cover 109,000 km², about the same size as Guatemala.
- Together they have 802,000 people, about as many people as Bhutan.
- Counted as a country, Phrae would rank 171st by area and 175th 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.
