Per serving, Tonkotsu Ramen (Japan) runs about 52% more expensive in Australia than in Thailand. The single biggest driver of that gap is Pork belly, which is priced noticeably higher in Australia — it accounts for roughly 71% of the total difference. If price is all that matters to you, cook it in Thailand — the gap is too large to shrug off.
