Same-Same Burger House – The Empire expands on the Island of Koh Phangan
Following the successful launch of the Same-Same Guesthouse Koh Phangan in March 2004 and the Same-Same Thai Cooking school in 2006 the Same-Same Empire further expands by opening the Koh Phangan Same-Same Burger House in June 2008.
After recent anonymous comments on Koh Phangan Island News web site stating that Same-Same burgers make you sick or just give you the shit, Koh Phangan Island News headquarters finally decided to sent down their team of investigative reporters lead by Senior Food Specialist Fred van den IamLonelyLookingForHotChicksPleaseDial0811466981
The Koh Phangan Same-Same Burger House offers a variety of different burgers and burger menus like classic burger, cheeseburger, double cheese burger, supreme cheese burger and one so called X-Treme bacon and cheese burger. If you prefer chicken or pork there is also the option of a supreme chicken or pork burger.
All burgers are also available as ‘menu’ which gives you some extra french fries plus a drink of your choice. Additionally there’s the Shawarma pida bread with marinated and grilled beef garnished with iceberg salad, tomatoes, onions and toped up with some homemade yoghurt dressing.
Koh Phangan Same-Same Burger House prices start as low as 180 THB for a classic beef burger and for the more fanatic junk food addict there’s always the option of the X-Treme bacon and cheese burger starship including all the bells and whistles for a very affordable 420 THB only.
Our Koh Phangan Island News team of investigative douche bags led by Senior Food Specialist Fred van den HiChicksStillLonelyPleaseDial0811466981 decided to go for the double cheeseburger menu and received quite a pleasant burger experience. The cheeseburger itself was excellent, tasty and very well done. Though the liberty fries were unfortunately totally over salted and should be looked after. Furthermore missing was the ice for the drinks as things tend to warm up quickly in the tropics. And there’s nothing more unpleasant than a 30 degree warm coke, isn’t it?
However … our friendly hosts and general managers from the Same-Same Burger House, Soeren and Jacob, then guided us through the Same-Same Burger House premises and Koh Phangan Island News headquarters could easily convince themselves that all standards of hygiene, food preparation and storage were successfully met. Storage and preparation facilities, restaurant, kitchen and equipment were flawlessly clean and looked after so really nothing negative to report here.
Apart from the salty liberty fries and the warm coke Same-Same Burger House still deserves two thumbs up and is definitely worth a visit should you fancy a real 100% beef burger. The earlier mentioned comments by anonymous competitors that Same-Same burgers simply give you the shit cannot be reconfirmed by Island News headquarters and should therefore be seen as pure island gossip almost certainly created by greedy and unsuccessful business competitors from the Hadrin community.
The Koh Phangan Same-Same Burger House is located at the sunset side of Hadrin Beach close to the pier to Koh Samui and is open every day until 5 a.m. and during the infamous Full Moon Party Night 24 hours.
Among travelers appointed as the best burger is Asia – You better give it a try and decide for yourself 😉

Very affordable 420 baht what a joke more than thai labourers earn in a day, you could eat in menu for that sort of money! you can get an awesome cheese burger with chips at eagle bar haad yaow for 80bt supporting a locally owned buisness better than this crap! dan
No chance Dan, Menu for 420 Baht dream on son
Got my info from this site said main meals from 300bt wouldnt know 4 sure cos i aint eaten there and i aint gonna!dan
Easyto clean the place up after all the bad talk about the place and then get you guys to check it out.How much did they pay you for this blog..But i must say that same same or nice people and best of luck to them..Keep it clean this time boys and then no bad talk about your place..
Hi,
Loving the pictures of the work permits, touch of class that 🙂 haaaa PATIHAN
As for prices… does seem expensive, but I remember buying cheddar cheese on the island before, if your thousands of miles from Europe and want a taste of home….the price is probably ok’ish!
Same as we needed TESCO to lower the prices in KPG’s Supermarkets we need now MacDonalds to regulate the Burger Prices. 🙂
Bon appetit
That’s very pricey even on western standards… I wiish them luck and I’m sure the burgers must be good. I didn’nt realize that Koh Phangan was dealing with such up scale tourists now?
Can better bargins be found?
Expensive yes, but McDonalds, what are you crazy
I bet McDonalds are shitting themselves with competition like this on the market (Rob)
How can it get 2 thumbs up when drink and fries were shit uncorrupted truth my arse looks like even phangan news up for a few backhanders!! Becki highly critical about everything on phangan apart from who pays you few baht you should be ashamed of your self maybe the parties should slip you some money then they wouldnt get such a hard time on here ha ha
Well … quite easy! i never said drinks and liberty fries were shit … just over salted fries and warm coke cause of missing ice. but that’s easily fixable and therefore the thumbs up. compared to other places in hadrin i would even give it a 3 thumbs up 😉
yes … Becki is critical and you can be assured that i didn’t receive any money at all for this article! the so called ‘payment’ was done by a FREE burger menu and so what? I should be ashamed of that? you’re kidding 😉
I think you better take a look in the mirror and start appreciating the nice little service I freely provide for you guys out there … enjoy 😉
Advertizing such expensive food with such pride will do more to keep backpackers away than some of your more criticle stories. People always beleive it will never happen to them, but they must eat.
Ok i retract the ashamed of your self statement was well over the top! Soz! Stand by what else i said but do appreiceate the service though guys 🙂
Haaaa! Get in there Becki 🙂
PATIHAN
over 400bht for a burger??? wow!! i think ill stick to MR K’s!!
Becki i think its time for you to go home………..very sad!!!!!
People should better eat original Thaifood at all these nice markets! and not all this Western junkshit
I just hope Burger-King is coming to Thong Sala, so I do not have to go to haad rin.
You Dont have to go to haad rin..John Place Beside the mason arms Thongsala do a Big big Burger with everything (Bacon Chesee chilli sour cream etc etc) and chips all for 195b..
Also John does a crackin’ Sunday lunch, you get a choice of roast Chicken, Pork, Beef, Lamb or Duck, with roast spuds, 3 veggies, stuffing, a grand Yorkshire pudding and lashings of gravy and all from 180-290, all on a plate the size of a 4×4 wheel hub. And don’t forget the good old traditional puddings, apple crumble or bread & butter pudding, mmmmmm, super, just like mum used to make. Thanks John.
420 baht for a burger, Baahhh Humbug is what I say.
Jap right, forgot about John’s place. I’m very happy to eat sunday roast there. REALLY TASTY
Thaikitchen is one of the best kitchen in the world!Why does people go to Thailand and eat Western Junkfood! Schnitzel Burger and Stuff is not the right food in the heat and will make you bhung bui!Hopefully you will die in case off bloodpressure!
Is that supposed to be funny? Be careful what you wish for – Thais are supposed to know about karma.
Becki, you should remove this clown from the site.
I thought it was quite funny, and he’s got a point western junk like this bad for you and the environment, and only ex pat and long term tourist has any excuse for eating it occasionaly thai food the best in the world! dan
The point is people are free to choose. I eat 90% Thai food when I’m there because I prefer it and I agree it is better suited to the climate but the comment ‘Hopefully you will all die of blood pressure’ is in very poor taste. I’ll add that the ‘you’ this person is talking about represents their bread & butter (excuse the pun).
420 baht thats £7.80 yes seven pound eighty for a burger!!!!!!! think ill stick to the rice .check bin cup
Now you know just how expensive 420 baht really is. If you have Brits complaining about the prices then it has to be over the top. The UK is one of the most expensive places on the planet. Thailand used to be an inexpensive place to visit.
At our local pub in Canada we can get two massive bugers with bacon and cheese on a real whole wheat bun. With two big portions of chip or salad and two pints of lager for about 450baht! The burgers are 100% ground sirlion steak! 🙂
Many excuses for that posting about bloodpressure!Sorry i didn´t want to hurt anyone!
Over heard the guy who ownes the place talking to his friend about how cheap and shit the meat is and how he payed a small fee for this blog and that he would never eat one of his burgers… Now we know were we get the shits from…Is This JOHNS PLACE any good..
thats shocking!!! glad i dont go there. to be honest he prob gets his meat from one of the manky butchers in tong sala where the meat hangs there with flies all over it!! i think ill wait until im next in bangkok and then take a little ride out to Chalk Chai cattle ranch and have a very nice steak meal for about 300bht!! at least there you can see the actual cows where the meat comes from!!

Try johns Place in thong sala its the best and Haft the price..Its Beside the mason arms.. The Mason arms is good for food aswell and again haft the price..
Dear everyone.
Thanks for all the response on Becki’s article about our Burger House in Haad Rin.
We are happy and surprised to see how much debate a small new business like this can start. Thanks for all your comments.
Before we opened the Burger House our goal was to make something different and new to Haad Rin.
We got the idea of opening a high quality fast food restaurant according to western standards and long opening hours.
In the beginning we tried to support the local food suppliers, but quickly found out, that the Island is still not ready to provide us with the standards and quality required by the Burger House.
Thats why we now is purchasing all our products on Samui Island, including meats, cheese and burger buns.
Becki hasnt recieved any bribes to write this article. Becki asked us if he could do an article about our new business, the Burger House.
We agreed and served him a free Cheese Burger menu.
There is a few things, that we would like to clarify:
1. Many of the comments are focused on our biggest burger, “The Extreme”. The cost of an Extreme burger menu with fries and soft drink is 420 baht. Its not only for the burger. Yes, its quite a lot for a burger, but its probably the biggest on the Island with 300 gr. of pure beef, triple cheese and triple bacon. This burger is meant to be the macho meal, and is normally ordered by big guys, who knows what a tasty BIG fast food burger should taste like.
2. Our burger prices doesnt start at 180 baht. Thats for a menu with Fries and soft drink.
Our regular beef burger can be purchased for 110 baht.
We totally agree, that local food is nice and tasty. There are plenty of good restaurants on this Island with Johns Bar and Bistro in the high end.
For cheap burgers we refer to The Eagle Bar in Haad Yao, mentioned in one of the previous comments.
Thanks to all of you guys, that has been supporting our product.
And Thanks to everyone for welcomming our new business with this massive respons.
We are a new business and we are more than happy to listen to positive critism, which can help us to provide a better experience for our customers.
Best regards and looking forward to welcome you in our new establishment.
SAME SAME BURGER AND SHAWARMA HOUSE
Well Said boys and best of luck to you all.As for the prices they are in line with Haad Rin and i have enjoyed your food many times and never had any problims..Take care,all the best for the up and coming months..
well said mate fairplay to ya..im shaw what ever is said on here wont effect the buisenes.i did hope u might post on here to give your side of things .
Okay so its a big burger granted but even with triple bacon and cheese this still seems pricey by western standards the gourmet burger resturants cropping up all over london(and rest of the uk to an extent) are not charging that much more than this for the same! they also have much higher running costs(staff,buisness rates etc) and are using british beef(some of the best in the world)! And i think the main reason for the hostility on here is that a lot of people who go to phangan actually despise our western/fast food/throw away society and are glad to get away from it wether it be long term or on holiday! Although this is haad riin were talking about, a place where im often ashamed to be british so i am sure buisness will be booming and it sure beats macdonalds;)
I read a previous thread that mentioned burger king in haad riin anyone know if this is true? dan
Hi Dan.
So I guess you are not macho. The burgers are fantastic in the burger bar, so stop talking about that big burger. Good luck to u guys, and thanks for bringing in something new and tasty.
B.
Dont tell me to stop talking about it i’ll say what i fucking want m8! ‘so i guess you are not macho’ he he certainly dont need to prove it by eating a big burger! At least i got bottle to sign with my name unlike you! Me thinks the truth hurts! Dan
Whats this about a big burger?;)
I think the price is okay – its time for a change. Koh Phangan needs to get rid of all you skanky tight- ass backpackers who live off pot noodles from the 7/11 and put no money into the island. This burger place is the new generation for Phangan starting to provide quality service and quality food at maybe a slightly higher price, but hey, I don’t mind paying for quality especially when there are so many TURGID restaurants (both Thai and Foreign) on Koh Phangan … and especially in Haadrin! Keep the prices and quality up!
Im in support of the prices & quality being high instead of this shit were getting from most restaurents on the island!! I read the postings a few months back about the newTesco opening and poor Big A and Limpipong supermarkets not being able to compete and how sad it was for these two wonderful businesses (who had been ripping off islanders for years with high prices). Well i had to laugh when I read the postings about Same Same Burger – because those same people (you know who you are!)posting those Pro- Big A and Limpipong comments on this website are now saying Quality food at Same Same Burger is too expensive!! Haha! Well, its monsoon now so why not stop complaining about businesses on the island and start complaining about the weather!! Becki, youve got some really sad fuckers making these postings … what do they do all day … think what they can complain about next … what a bunch of fucking losers!!! Smoke your spliff, drink your Chang and now go and moan about this posting…ha!
Awesome! Awesome! That’s the spirit I’m talking about. Thanks so much for that nice comment … couldn’t have done it any better. Two thumbs up for my anonymous friend 😉
greetings
becki
I cant believe you have said that phangan needs to get rid of the backpackers!!! i guess you are the owner of this over priced stingy portioned shit hole!! back packers are what made the island and they will continue to pay for everyone on the island. The burgers look average and for the price we can all go to and get a burger and chips elsewhere on the island that is better for less than half the price!! get real, grow up and get off the island if you dont like it!!
I heard the owner is on a diet – looks like he’s been eating too many of his own burgers!! That means they must be good!
hey why not move to India cause thats where all the skunky cheap skate travellers are heading ….. you can obviously write … but does your intelligence include reading skills because you obvioulsy didnt read the previous posting’s Becki’s comment!!… and on your way out … please kindly immerse your self in sheep-dip and then purchase the cheapest boat ticket for tight asses .. the Songserm ticket… at the pier… and remove yourself from this island along with all your skunk friends who hang around the 7/11’s!! WE DONT WANT YOU!!!
You eat meat right? So go suck dick you fucking meat head cock sucker.
so what.. i checked the burgers but what i can say is
IT’S VERY VERY POOR
i tried the 180THB menue and there is just no
salad only mayo +ketchup and the beef…
the fries aren’t crunshy soft fries for softballs
sorry tried it once garantie never come back to Same Same Burgerhome
Shame for Same Same
eintom
So if you like salad, why didnt you order one of the burgers with salad. As I remember, MCDonalds dont serve their hamburger with salad. I have tried the burgers, and I will be back.
Kim
Who can blame a poor danish guy to try to make a bit off quick money, all the customors will never come back anyway, after beeing riped off in Had Riin scham again again 3 bath internet- over priced taxi- angry thai dodes fuck Had Riin and go enjoy Koh Pha Ngan
I just love theese burgers. Maybe because I dont mind paying for quality.
Thanks
as i understand it, it is just a sorry assholl of a PIMP, trying to make some money, as his buz of selling bad Thai puzzy is not running, then why not try to make a litel on farang to.
I strongly recomand not to put your money in the pocket of a PIMP
Fuck the pimps, living of womans puzzy.
Mmmmmm…. How do you know its bad p….? Think before you write!
A few days ago I tried the famous Same Same Burger …
what a crap … Becki you must have been on heavy drugs to like this crap.
Awful … don’t waste your money on this shit
