The Thai phrase “same-same, but different” is a charming and
confusing way that Thai people blow off really substantial differences between

of same-same are:

When inquiring whether a prostitute is a woman when in fact he is a man
dressed as a woman, a patron might be told “same-same, but different.”
2)
Designer knock-offs, fake gems, bootlegged
media. “Is this a real Fendi wallet?” “Same-same, but different.”
And now, a same-same, but different analysis of the
traditional Thai massage:
