Per serving, Classic Cheeseburger runs about 119% more expensive in South Korea than in Thailand. The single biggest driver of that gap is Beef chuck, which is priced noticeably higher in South Korea — 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.
