Thailand covers 513,120 km² on the new Equal Earth world map, 0.4% of all land on Earth. It ranks 50th of 237 countries worldwide and 12th in Asia. At 15° latitude Mercator only inflates Thailand by about 7%, so the old and new maps largely agree on it, unlike the far north where Mercator's stretch is dramatic.
For scale, Thailand is roughly the same size as Spain (505,370 km²).
You could fit 3 of Tunisia inside Thailand.
