Thailand provinces quiz

The 77 provinces in the quiz

Thailand has 76 provinces and Bangkok: 77 in the quiz. Use the Capitals button in the panel to find their capitals instead.

How to play

In Point mode we name a province and you tap it on the map; in Type mode one lights up and you type its name (accents don’t matter); and in Time trial you get 6 seconds per question. If you miss, we show you where it was, which way it lies and a hint drawn from the data: its size rank and its neighbors.

Each game has 10, 20 or all the questions, and at the end you can practice just the ones you missed. Your best score for each mode is saved in this browser only: neither we nor anyone else can see it, and there’s no sign-up.

The hardest ones

The smallest provinces are the hardest, since they barely show on the map: Samut Songkhram (about 160 sq mi), Phuket (about 220 sq mi), and Nonthaburi (about 230 sq mi). Zoom in with the buttons or two fingers to tap them.

And watch out for look-alike names: Chiang Mai and Chiang Rai; Nong Bua Lam Phu and Nong Khai; Phetchabun and Phetchaburi; Ranong and Rayong; Samut Prakan, Samut Sakhon, and Samut Songkhram.

Tips to learn them

• The 12 provinces bordering Laos trace that border on the map: Amnat Charoen, Bueng Kan, Chiang Rai, Loei, Mukdahan, Nakhon Phanom, Nan, Nong Khai, Phayao, Phitsanulok, Ubon Ratchathani, and Uttaradit.
• Phuket has no land border with any other province on the map: look for it at sea.

Playing in class

If you teach in Thailand, start with your school’s province and its neighbors and add a few each day. Otherwise, it’s a good way to get to know the country before studying it.

With the Challenge your class link, everyone gets the same questions in the same order, with no accounts or passwords, and each student sees their own score, time and streak. To practice on paper, there’s a printable worksheet of the same map with an answer key.
