Per serving, Tacos al Pastor runs about 39% more expensive in Thailand than in United States. The single biggest driver of that gap is Corn tortilla, which is priced noticeably higher in Thailand — it accounts for roughly 100% of the total difference. United States still holds a real edge, but home-cooking beats delivery in both countries either way.
