- The gap between them, 437 km², is about the size of Seychelles (436 km²).
- At Bangkok's density, Mauritius would have 7.3 million people (it has 1.3 million). At Mauritius's density, Bangkok would have 982,000 (it has 5.7 million).
- Bangkok's centre is 34.0° of latitude, about 3,780 km, farther north than Mauritius's.

- Laid side by side, Mauritius and Bangkok would cover 3,560 km², 91% of the size of Cape Verde.
- Together they have 6.9 million people, about as many people as Laos.
- Mauritius is drawn from 26 points and Bangkok is drawn from 40 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, Bangkok would rank 183rd by area and 116th 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.
