The Bangkok Metropolitan Region (BMR) (Thai: กรุงเทพมหานครและปริมณฑล; RTGS: krung thep maha nakhon lae parimonthon; lit. 'Bangkok and environs'), may refer to a government-defined "political definition" of the urban region surrounding the metropolis of Bangkok, or the built-up area, i.e., urban agglomeration of Bangkok, Thailand, which varies in size and shape, and gets filled in as development expands.
The political definition is defined as the metropolis and the five adjacent provinces of Nakhon Pathom, Pathum Thani, Nonthaburi, Samut Prakan, and Samut Sakhon.
