Per serving, Tacos al Pastor runs about 57% more expensive in South Korea than in Thailand. The single biggest driver of that gap is Pork shoulder, 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.
