∙ 11y agoNot necessarily. A state's capital city is not always the most populated area of the state. In fact, the most populated city in a state is usually NOT the state capitol. Many (but not all) capital cities were the most populated in their state at the time they joined the union, which was over 100 years ago for most states. Over time things change.

Thailand is divided into 76 provinces (Thai: จังหวัด, changwat, singular and plural), which are grouped into 5 groups of provinces - sometimes the East and Central are grouped together. The capital Bangkok, though not a province but a special administrative area, is usually also included as a province as it is at the same administrative level as the other provinces. The name of the province is the same as that of the capital city, which is sometimes preceded with a Mueang to avoid confusion with the province. With the exception of Songkhla the capital is also the biggest city in the province.
