How they differ
- Kochi also has the larger population: 689,000 against 588,000, 1.17× as many people.

- Their centres are about 3,800 km apart.
- A standard web map misstates the comparison: Kochi at 33°N is drawn about 1.4× too large and Sukhothai at 17°N about 1.1×, so the map shows Kochi as 1.31× the size of Sukhothai instead of 1.00×.
- Together Kochi and Sukhothai cover 14,200 km², close to the size of Montenegro (13,700 km², 3.0% smaller).

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.
