What fits
- Pattani is 77% of the size of Luxembourg.
- Luxembourg is larger by 607 km² (234 mi²), which is 30% of the area of Pattani.

How they differ
- Luxembourg is larger, but Pattani has the larger population: 726,000 against 691,000, 1.05× as many people.
- Per square kilometre that is 363 in Pattani against 265 in Luxembourg: Pattani is 1.37× as densely populated.
- Their centres are about 9,810 km apart.
- A standard web map misstates the comparison: Luxembourg at 50°N is drawn about 2.4× too large and Pattani at 7°N about 1.0×, so the map shows Luxembourg as 3.08× the size of Pattani instead of 1.30×.
- Together Luxembourg and Pattani cover 4,610 km², close to the size of Trinidad and Tobago (5,120 km², 11% bigger).
- The gap between them, 607 km², is about the size of Saint Lucia (605 km²).
- At Pattani's density, Luxembourg would have 946,000 people (it has 691,000). At Luxembourg's density, Pattani would have 530,000 (it has 726,000).
- Luxembourg's centre is 43.0° of latitude, about 4,790 km, farther north than Pattani's.

- Luxembourg lies about 43° of latitude (roughly 4,790 km) north of Pattani.
- Shared out evenly, each person in Luxembourg would have about 3,780 m² and each person in Pattani about 2,760 m².
- Laid side by side, Luxembourg and Pattani would cover 4,610 km², 90% of the size of Trinidad and Tobago.
- Together they have 1.4 million people, about as many people as East Timor.
- Pattani is drawn from 50 points: at a size under 2,500 km² the outline is a sketch, so the overlap shows the proportions rather than the exact shape.
- Counted as a country, Pattani would rank 181st by area and 166th 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.
