Per serving, Spaghetti Carbonara runs about 93% more expensive in Thailand than in Spain. The single biggest driver of that gap is Pecorino Romano, which is priced noticeably higher in Thailand — it accounts for roughly 100% of the total difference. If price is all that matters to you, cook it in Spain — the gap is too large to shrug off.
