Soi Arab is an alleyway in Bangkok. It is a center for Middle Eastern visitors and expatriates, with numerous Arabic restaurants and shops. 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. Several restaurants in the area offer outdoors water pipe smoking, and shops offer expensive agarwood for sale.
Famous quotes containing the word arab:
“I saw the Arab map.
It resembled a mare shuffling on,
dragging its history like saddlebags,
nearing its tomb and the pitch of hell.”
—Adonis [Ali Ahmed Said] (b. 1930)
