Printable Blank Map of Thailand
Delineating all 76 provinces (changwat) and the Bangkok Special Administrative Area across 513,120 square kilometers, this blank vector map captures the heart of mainland Southeast Asia. Projected in UTM Zone 47N (EPSG:32647), it provides clean coordinate geometry for Chao Phraya river basin studies, Khorat Plateau mapping, and provincial labeling.
About this Blank Map of Thailand
This printable blank map represents Thailand on the authentic WGS84 ellipsoidal datum. All 3 interactive visual variants—including Blank Outline, Capital City Marker (Bangkok), and High-Contrast Printer B&W—are generated synchronously from identical coordinate geometry.

Thailand at a Glance
- Capital
- Bangkok
- First-level divisions
- 76 Provinces
This printable map shows the national outline of Thailand with the capital, Bangkok, marked. Internal provinces borders are not drawn, which makes it a good base for students to sketch them in from an atlas.
Geography Notes: Thailand
Royal Thai Survey Department & UTM Geodesy
The Royal Thai Survey Department (RTSD) standardizes national mapping under UTM Zone 47N.
Centered on 99°00'E, Zone 47N minimizes scale distortion across the central alluvial rice plains and the northern Tenasserim mountain ranges along the Myanmar border.
Conformal parameters preserve true angular relations along the 1,990-mile coastline flanking both the Gulf of Thailand to the east and the Andaman Sea to the west.
EPSG:32647 maintains metric precision across the Chao Phraya river delta and Bangkok metropolitan area.
The Four Geographic Regions of Thailand
Thailand is divided into four distinct geographical and cultural regions.
The Central region contains the fertile Chao Phraya river basin, the "rice bowl" of Asia, home to the capital megacity of Bangkok.
Nakhon Ratchasima (Korat) in the northeast covers 20,494 square kilometers as the largest province, anchoring the elevated, sandstone Khorat Plateau (Isan) along the Mekong River border with Laos.
Nakhon Ratchasima covers over 20,000 square kilometers, acting as the historic gateway to the 20 northeastern Isan provinces.
Curated Classroom Activities & Spatial Labs for Thailand
Pedagogical lesson plans and spatial analysis activities designed specifically for printable vector maps of Thailand:
Chao Phraya Drainage & Gulf of Thailand Lab
Objective: Trace the Chao Phraya River system and analyze central rice cultivation.
Materials: Printed blank map of Thailand, blue and green highlighters, hydrological atlas.
- Trace the Ping, Wang, Yom, and Nan rivers meeting at Nakhon Sawan to form the Chao Phraya River.
- Follow the Chao Phraya flowing south through Bangkok into the Gulf of Thailand.
- Trace the Mekong River forming the international border with Laos in the north and east.
The Four Regions & Malay Peninsula Demarcation Lab
Objective: Classify the four primary geographic regions and map the narrow southern peninsula.
Materials: Printed Thailand province outline map, colored pencils.
- Color-code the 4 regions: North (mountainous), Central (alluvial plain), Northeast/Isan (plateau), and South (tropical peninsula).
- Locate Bangkok as the special administrative area and national capital.
- Highlight Nakhon Ratchasima as the largest province by land area.
The 3 Synchronized Variants Explained
We generate 3 synchronized variations of Thailand from the same master vector dataset. Each variant is aligned to identical coordinate geometry:
1. Blank Boundary Outline
The foundational boundary outline of Thailand. Rendered with a clean exterior stroke and zero fill—the optimal version for in-class labeling exams, custom cartographic overlays, or clean graphic design.
2. With Capital City (Bangkok)
Pinpoints the official capital city of Bangkok using a high-visibility star marker and typographic callout, positioned at precise geodetic coordinates.
3. High-Contrast Printer B&W
Optimized specifically for monochrome desktop laser and inkjet printers. Uses pure black vector paths (#000000) and ultra-clean white fills to prevent ink-bleeding and toner smudging.

Frequently Asked Questions About Thailand Blank Maps
Authoritative answers to common questions regarding printing, licensing, vector customization, and curriculum use:
Are all 76 Thai provinces included on this map?▼
Yes. All 76 provinces (changwat) plus the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration special area are cleanly delineated.
What is the largest province by land area in Thailand?▼
Nakhon Ratchasima in northeastern Thailand (often called Korat) is the largest province at 20,494 square kilometers.
Does Thailand border both the Pacific and Indian oceans?▼
Yes. Thailand has coastlines along the Gulf of Thailand (part of the Pacific Ocean) on the east, and along the Andaman Sea (part of the Indian Ocean) on the west.
