Smash Burger on the Beach is the restaurant at South Beach Inn, on the sand at Thong Krut on the south coast of Koh Samui. Stellar Property Global converted the hotel and fitted out its restaurant as part of the same project. It serves American smash-style burgers, where the patty is pressed flat on a hot griddle for crisp edges. The signature is the Gringo Burger. The deck looks out past the pier towards Koh Tan and Koh Madsum, and many diners come in straight off the boat trips that leave from Thong Krut. We announced it with South Beach Inn in March 2025, and breakfast followed that June, so hotel guests can eat on the beach from morning to evening. It shows the fit-out work we do for food and drink.

Smash Burger on the Beach is the restaurant at South Beach Inn, our hotel on the beach at Thong Krut. We fitted it out when we converted the hotel. It serves American smash-style burgers on the sand through the day, and opened with the hotel in March 2025.

## A restaurant on the sand

Thong Krut is a fishing village on the south coast of Koh Samui, with a small pier where the island boat trips start. The restaurant deck sits by the pier and looks out to Koh Tan and Koh Madsum, the island visitors call Pig Island.

That location shapes the day. Hotel guests often eat their first meal here on arrival, and day-trippers stop in when the boats come back.

## What is on the menu

A smash burger is a ball of beef pressed flat on a very hot griddle. The edges go crisp and the middle stays juicy. The Gringo Burger is the one guests name most often.

Smash burgers served at Smash Burger on the Beach, Koh Samui

The menu also has chicken and vegetarian burgers, a Philly cheesesteak, several kinds of fries, and milkshakes. Breakfast was added in June 2025, including pancakes with mango. Guests arrive to a cold towel, the same welcome they get at the hotel.

## Why we added a restaurant

We fitted it out as part of the hotel's conversion. We wanted guests to be able to eat on the beach without leaving the hotel.

This is how we think about any building we will operate. Our guide to [building for operations on Koh Samui](/articles/building-for-operations-koh-samui) explains what changes when the builder also has to run the place.

## What guests say

Reviews mostly praise the burgers and the sunset from the deck.

"Real smash burgers, not some dry European imitation." — Guest, Smash Burger on the Beach

The most common complaint is price for a casual beach meal, and a few guests have flagged uneven fries.

## Name check

Smash Burger on the Beach is the restaurant at [South Beach Inn](/developments/south-beach-inn) in Thong Krut. The Mexican restaurant planned at [South Beach Resort and Beach Club](/developments/south-beach-resort-and-beach-club), across the road, is a different venue. Other burger restaurants on Koh Samui with similar names are separate businesses.
