What fits
- Pattani fits inside Tokushima about 2.12 times by area.
- Tokushima is larger by 2,250 km² (867 mi²), which is 112% of the area of Pattani.
- Measured in Belgiums: Tokushima is about 0.14, Pattani about 0.07.
How they differ
- Tokushima is larger, but Pattani has the larger population: 726,000 against 722,000, 1.01× as many people.
- Per square kilometre that is 363 in Pattani against 170 in Tokushima: Pattani is 2.14× as densely populated.
- Their centres are about 4,530 km apart.
- A standard web map misstates the comparison: Tokushima at 34°N is drawn about 1.5× too large and Pattani at 7°N about 1.0×, so the map shows Tokushima as 3.04× the size of Pattani instead of 2.12×.
- Together Tokushima and Pattani cover 6,250 km², close to the size of Palestine (6,070 km², 2.8% smaller).
- The gap between them, 2,250 km², is about the size of Mauritius (2,000 km²).
- At Pattani's density, Tokushima would have 1.5 million people (it has 722,000). At Tokushima's density, Pattani would have 340,000 (it has 726,000).
- Tokushima's centre is 27.2° of latitude, about 3,020 km, farther north than Pattani's.
- Tokushima is the 34th largest of the 47 prefectures of Japan and covers 1.1% of its area; it is the 36th most densely populated of them.
- Pattani is the 68th largest of the 77 provinces of Thailand and covers 0.4% of its area; it is the 9th most densely populated of them.
- Tokushima lies about 27° of latitude (roughly 3,020 km) north of Pattani.
- Shared out evenly, each person in Tokushima would have about 5,890 m² and each person in Pattani about 2,760 m².
- Laid side by side, Tokushima and Pattani would cover 6,250 km², 1.09× the size of Brunei.
- Together they have 1.4 million people, 1.03× as many people as East Timor.
- Pattani is drawn from 50 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.
