Sois and moos

[PigDogg]

In many addresses i see Moo instead of Soi. Whay is a Moo exactly?

Good question...

Sois, Moos, Tambons, Amphurs, Chiangwats... How does this system work?

Well, actually it's all very logical, really. Let's start at the front door of a typical Thai house.

Outside most Thai houses is a Soi (lane) or a Thanon (road).

If the address is 187/7 Singharaj Soi 3. This translates to (Lot) 187, (House) 7.

Sometimes this is followed by a Moo, or a Neighbourhood; e.g., Moo 4 or Neighbourhood 4, which in turn is part of a Tambon, or Sub-District; e.g., Tambon Bang Na or Bang Na Sub-District.

Amphurs are basically Districts, and Chiangwats are Provinces.
