There's more than one place called '''Bangka''':
Bangka (Sulawesi) - an island off the northeastern tip of Sulawesi
Bangka (Sumatra) - an island off the coast of South Sumatra
Bangka-Belitung - a regency that covers the Sumatran Bangka and neighboring islands
<!--
Bangka - somewhere south-east of Bangkok (there's a bus to Bangka from Ekamai)
