Per serving, Banh Mi (Vietnam) runs about 52% more expensive in Spain than in Thailand. The single biggest driver of that gap is Pork belly, which is priced noticeably higher in Spain — it accounts for roughly 85% of the total difference. If price is all that matters to you, cook it in Thailand — the gap is too large to shrug off.
