It depends what you mean by "near" - it is above the equator, but I would say that yes, it is near. In southeast Asia, the equator passes through Sumatra, Indonesia, which is about 1000 miles south of Bangkok.

You would not want to walk it - it is tropical, but not equatorial. Far/Near is subjective and comparative, so it depends what you mean by close and and what you compare it to.
