What fits
- Zhejiang fits inside Thailand about 5.08 times by area.
- Thailand is larger by 413,000 km² (160,000 mi²), which is 408% of the area of Zhejiang.

How they differ
- Thailand also has the larger population: 66.2 million against 64.6 million, 1.03× as many people.
- Per square kilometre that is 637 in Zhejiang against 129 in Thailand: Zhejiang is 4.95× as densely populated.
- Their centres are about 2,510 km apart.
- A standard web map misstates the comparison: Thailand at 15°N is drawn about 1.1× too large and Zhejiang at 29°N about 1.3×, so the map shows Thailand as 4.15× the size of Zhejiang instead of 5.08×.
- Together Thailand and Zhejiang cover 616,000 km², close to the size of Central African Republic (618,000 km², 0.4% bigger).
- The gap between them, 413,000 km², is about the size of Paraguay (400,000 km²).
- At Zhejiang's density, Thailand would have 327.8 million people (it has 66.2 million). At Thailand's density, Zhejiang would have 13.0 million (it has 64.6 million).
- Zhejiang's centre is 14.1° of latitude, about 1,570 km, farther north than Thailand's.

- Zhejiang lies about 14° of latitude (roughly 1,570 km) north of Thailand.
- Shared out evenly, each person in Thailand would have about 7,770 m² and each person in Zhejiang about 1,570 m².
- Laid side by side, Thailand and Zhejiang would cover 616,000 km², about the same size as the Central African Republic.
- Together they have 130.8 million people, about as many people as Mexico.
- Counted as a country, Zhejiang would rank 108th by area and 23rd 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.
