Per serving, Spaghetti Carbonara runs about 42% more expensive in Thailand than in United Kingdom. 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. United Kingdom still holds a real edge, but home-cooking beats delivery in both countries either way.
