What fits
- Delhi is 74% of the size of Pattani.

How they differ
- Pattani is larger, but Delhi has the larger population: 16.8 million against 726,000, 23.1× as many people.
- Per square kilometre that is 11,325 in Delhi against 363 in Pattani: Delhi is 31.2× as densely populated.
- Their centres are about 3,530 km apart.
- A standard web map misstates the comparison: Pattani at 7°N is drawn about 1.0× too large and Delhi at 29°N about 1.3×, so the map shows Pattani as 1.05× the size of Delhi instead of 1.35×.
- Together Pattani and Delhi cover 3,480 km², close to the size of Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (3,320 km², 4.7% smaller).
- The gap between them, 519 km², is about the size of Singapore (511 km²).
- At Delhi's density, Pattani would have 22.7 million people (it has 726,000). At Pattani's density, Delhi would have 538,000 (it has 16.8 million).
- Delhi's centre is 21.9° of latitude, about 2,440 km, farther north than Pattani's.

- Delhi lies about 22° of latitude (roughly 2,440 km) north of Pattani.
- Shared out evenly, each person in Pattani would have about 2,760 m² and each person in Delhi about 90 m².
- Laid side by side, Pattani and Delhi would cover 3,480 km², 89% of the size of Cape Verde.
- Together they have 17.5 million people, about as many people as Guinea.
- Pattani is drawn from 50 points and Delhi 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.

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.
