On a Mercator map, area grows with distance from the equator. Thailand sits at about 15°N and is stretched to 1.07× its true area; United States at 45° N is stretched to 1.98×. That difference is why United States looks so much bigger than it is next to Thailand. The figure above uses the Equal Earth projection, where every square kilometre is drawn the same size.
