- Their centres are about 13,800 km apart.
- A standard web map misstates the comparison: Rhode Island at 42°N is drawn about 1.8× too large and Pathum Thani at 14°N about 1.1×, so the map shows Rhode Island as 3.23× the size of Pathum Thani instead of 1.92×.
- Together Rhode Island and Pathum Thani cover 4,310 km², close to the size of Cape Verde (3,930 km², 8.9% smaller).
- The gap between them, 1,350 km², is about the size of Comoros (1,670 km²).
- At Pathum Thani's density, Rhode Island would have 2.3 million people (it has 1.1 million). At Rhode Island's density, Pathum Thani would have 573,000 (it has 1.2 million).

- Pathum Thani is the 70th largest of the 77 provinces of Thailand and covers 0.3% of its area; it is the 4th most densely populated of them.
- Rhode Island lies about 28° of latitude (roughly 3,070 km) north of Pathum Thani.
- Shared out evenly, each person in Rhode Island would have about 2,580 m² and each person in Pathum Thani about 1,260 m².
- Laid side by side, Rhode Island and Pathum Thani would cover 4,310 km², 1.10× the size of Cape Verde.
- Together they have 2.3 million people, 94% as many people as Moldova.
- Pathum Thani is drawn from 22 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.
