According to my Thai/English dictionary a soy is a lane, alley or side road.
Thai cities are set up with main streets and, running off of these
are the sois which are numbered and named after the main road.
For example, the name of a main east/west street here is Thapae Road.
Off of this are Thapae Road Soi 1 to Soi 6.
In Bangkok the sois running off one side are even numbered and on the other, odd numbered.
Some of these sois are just lane ways while others can be busy side streets.
Some seem deserted but seldom stay that way for long and some seem like they're leading nowhere.
Some lead nowhere.
I take a lot of shots of these sois; I find them very interesting and, in some cases, mysterious.
HERE ARE SOME OF MY SOI PHOTOS
