stupid question: when you say "Soi xx"....

[LasseDK]

hey,

just seen a few references to some of the TF events, where its "we meet at somewhere at soi 22" - is that Soi in relation to somewhere else ? or is BKK a city of a billion Soi's with each its own number ?

If i take a cab from the aiport and say, drive me to Soi 22, does he know where that is then ? or do i have to say "drive me to something-road, soi 22" ?

U need the road name with it.... as for here most of the time, if there's no road name mentioned, just assume it's Sukhumvit Road.

Yeah, BoD is right, you need the major street name but Soi 22 is well enough known amongst TF members that I think most people would understand. A taxi driver might ask which street and when I get in a taxi I tell them Sukhumvit Soi 22 but if I'm talking with someone from TF and say "Hey, let's go down to Soi 22," I doubt there would be any confusion.
