Per serving, Banh Mi (Vietnam) runs about 57% more expensive in United States than in Thailand. The single biggest driver of that gap is Pork belly, which is priced noticeably higher in United States — it accounts for roughly 89% of the total difference. If price is all that matters to you, cook it in Thailand — the gap is too large to shrug off.
