Per serving, Pad Thai (shrimp) runs about 146% more expensive in United Kingdom than in Thailand. The single biggest driver of that gap is Shrimp, which is priced noticeably higher in United Kingdom — it accounts for roughly 86% of the total difference. If price is all that matters to you, cook it in Thailand — the gap is too large to shrug off.
