Together these cover 13% of the country's land and sea area, one of the highest ratios of protected to unprotected areas of any nations in the world. * ( compare this figure with India at 4.2%, Japan 6.5%, France 8.8% and the USA 10.5% ) * Thailand has an area of 517,000 sq km, making it slightly smaller than the state of Texas in the USA, or about the size of France. |
