Ladakh is 66.1× the size of Ang Thong
Ladakh (union territory of India) covers about 64,300 km² (24,800 mi²) and Ang Thong (province of Thailand) about 972 km² (375 mi²). Below, both outlines are drawn at one scale and centred on each other.

Ladakh: Part of this region's boundary is disputed with China and Pakistan. Size Versus draws Natural Earth's de facto outline, the boundary as it is held on the ground, and takes no position on it.
What fits
- Ang Thong fits inside Ladakh about 66.1 times by area.
- Ladakh is larger by 63,300 km² (24,400 mi²), which is 6,513% of the area of Ang Thong.
- Measured in Belgiums: Ladakh is about 2.10, Ang Thong about 0.03.
How they differ
- Ladakh is larger, but Ang Thong has the larger population: 277,000 against 274,000, 1.01× as many people.
- Per square kilometre that is 285 in Ang Thong against 4.3 in Ladakh: Ang Thong is 66.7× as densely populated.
- Their centres are about 3,130 km apart.
- A standard web map misstates the comparison: Ladakh at 34°N is drawn about 1.5× too large and Ang Thong at 15°N about 1.1×, so the map shows Ladakh as 89.8× the size of Ang Thong instead of 66.1×.
- Together Ladakh and Ang Thong cover 65,200 km², close to the size of Lithuania (64,900 km², 0.4% smaller).
- The gap between them, 63,300 km², is about the size of Latvia (64,600 km²).
- At Ang Thong's density, Ladakh would have 18.3 million people (it has 274,000). At Ladakh's density, Ang Thong would have 4,150 (it has 277,000).
- Ladakh's centre is 19.3° of latitude, about 2,140 km, farther north than Ang Thong's.
- Ladakh is the 17th largest of the 36 states and union territories of India and covers 2.0% of its area; it is the 36th most densely populated of them.
- Ang Thong is the 71st largest of the 77 provinces of Thailand and covers 0.2% of its area; it is the 12th most densely populated of them.
- Ladakh lies about 19° of latitude (roughly 2,140 km) north of Ang Thong.
- Shared out evenly, each person in Ladakh would have about 234,260 m² and each person in Ang Thong about 3,510 m².
- Laid side by side, Ladakh and Ang Thong would cover 65,200 km², about the same size as Lithuania.
- Together they have 551,000 people, about as many people as Cape Verde.
- Ang Thong is drawn from 35 points: at a size under 2,500 km² the outline is a sketch, so the overlap shows the proportions rather than the exact shape.

- Our measured 64,300 km² is 8.5% above Wikidata's official figure of 59,200 km². Official figures can include inland water or count land that an outline draws differently. This difference is flagged for review.
- Wikidata's official figure of 968 km² agrees with our measured area of 972 km², to within 2%.

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.
