About eggs
Eggs are the most volatile item in the game. Avian influenza outbreaks can double a country's egg price within a few months and pull it back down just as fast, so an egg price is as much a snapshot of this year's flock health as it is of local cost of living.
Where Thailand sits
Of the 32 countries priced for eggs, Thailand ranks #26 from the top at $2.08, 40% below the median of $3.46.
Thailand is among the cheapest countries in the game for prepared food and produce, both grown domestically in quantity. Dairy is the exception, as it is not traditionally a large part of the diet and much of the supply is imported. VAT is 7%, the lowest headline rate of any country in this table apart from the Gulf states, and fresh unprocessed food is exempt on top of that. Between domestic agriculture and a very light consumption tax, the Thai food rows are close to a floor for what these items can cost anywhere in the world.
