Per serving, Banh Mi (Vietnam) runs about 65% more expensive in Mexico than in Thailand. The single biggest driver of that gap is Pork belly, which is priced noticeably higher in Mexico — it accounts for roughly 100% of the total difference. If price is all that matters to you, cook it in Thailand — the gap is too large to shrug off.
