Samboja sits inside East Kalimantan, Indonesia.

View the nearby cities, nearby states or nearby countries tables above.
Scroll down and this page also ranks the states closest to Samboja and the countries closest to Samboja by the same straight-line measurement. For the complete national picture, see every country bordering or near Indonesia. Handy for cross-border import/export planning, scouting a new travel corridor or lining up emergency logistics across Asia.
Next to every distance sits a compass heading from Samboja, plotted on the 16-point rose (N, NNE, NE, ENE, E, ESE, SE, SSE, S, SSW, SW, WSW, W, WNW, NW, NNW). The rotating arrow marks the bearing angle (0°–360°, where 0°/360° is due north) — see it in action in the cities, states and countries tables above. It's the same reference pilots, sailors and long-haul truckers use to picture the layout around Samboja at a glance.
