- Their centres are about 10,100 km apart.
- A standard web map misstates the comparison: Isle of Man at 54°N is drawn about 2.9× too large and Phuket at 8°N about 1.0×, so the map shows Isle of Man as 2.96× the size of Phuket instead of 1.03×.
- Together Isle of Man and Phuket cover 1,130 km², close to the size of São Tomé and Príncipe (1,040 km², 8.4% smaller).
- At Phuket's density, Isle of Man would have 428,000 people (it has 85,000). At Isle of Man's density, Phuket would have 82,000 (it has 414,000).

- Together they have 499,000 people, 1.09× as many people as Brunei.
- Isle of Man is drawn from 33 points and Phuket is drawn from 37 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, Phuket would rank 195th 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.
