What fits
- Bangkok fits inside Queensland about 1,106 times by area.
- Queensland is larger by 1,729,000 km² (667,000 mi²), which is 110,537% of the area of Bangkok.
- Measured in Belgiums: Queensland is about 56.4, Bangkok about 0.05.
How they differ
- Queensland is larger, but Bangkok has the larger population: 5.7 million against 5.6 million, 1.01× as many people.
- Per square kilometre that is 3,630 in Bangkok against 3.2 in Queensland: Bangkok is 1,118× as densely populated.
- Their centres are about 6,250 km apart.
- Together Queensland and Bangkok cover 1,732,000 km², close to the size of Libya (1,624,000 km², 6.2% smaller).
- The gap between them, 1,729,000 km², is about the size of Libya (1,624,000 km²).
- At Bangkok's density, Queensland would have 6.28 billion people (it has 5.6 million). At Queensland's density, Bangkok would have 5,080 (it has 5.7 million).
- Bangkok's centre is 36.3° of latitude, about 4,030 km, farther north than Queensland's.
- Queensland is the 2nd largest of the 8 states and territories of Australia and covers 22% of its area; it is the 5th most densely populated of them.
- Bangkok is the 69th largest of the 77 provinces of Thailand and covers 0.3% of its area; it is the most densely populated of them.
- Bangkok lies about 36° of latitude (roughly 4,030 km) north of Queensland, on the other side of the equator.
- Shared out evenly, each person in Queensland would have about 307,920 m² and each person in Bangkok about 280 m².
- Laid side by side, Queensland and Bangkok would cover 1,732,000 km², 1.07× the size of Libya.
- Together they have 11.3 million people, about as many people as Tunisia.
- Bangkok is drawn from 40 points: at a size under 2,500 km² the outline is 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.
