ซอย

#90 most commonnoun mid tone

What does ซอย mean?

A small street or lane that branches off from a main road in Thailand. Essential for navigation as most addresses include the soi number or name. Thai people commonly use ซอย in directions and addresses. Different from ถนน (main road) - sois are narrower residential or commercial side streets that you'll encounter daily in Bangkok and other cities.
