SoiArab

07 JULY 2011 - BANGKOK, THAILAND: A customer smokes shisha at the Nefertiti Restaurant, an Egyptian restaurant in the Soi Arab neighborhood of Bangkok. Soi Arab started as an alleyway in Bangkok (Soi is the Thai word for alley or small street). What started as an alley has now grown into a neighborhood that encompasses several blocks of restaurants, hotels and money exchanges that cater to Middle Eastern visitors to Thailand. The official name of the street is Sukhumvit Soi 3/1, located in North Nana between Sukhumvit Soi 3 and Sukhumvit Soi 5, not far from the Nana Plaza night-life area and the Grace Hotel popular among Arabs.
