Property is
often numbered
twice, firstly
to show which
real estate lot
it stands in,
and then to
distinguish
where it is on
that lot. Thus
154/7-10 Thanon
Rajdamnoen means
the building is
on lot 154 and
occupies numbers
7-10. "Thanon"
means "road".
Also, in large
cities a minor
road running off
a major road is
often numbered
as a soi ("lane"
or "alley",
though it may be
a sizeable
thoroughfare),
rather than
given its own
street name.
Thanon Sukhumvit
for example has
minor roads
numbered Soi 1
to Soi 103, with
odd numbers on
one side of the
road and even on
the other; so a
Thanon Sukhumvit
address could
read something
like 27/9-11 Soi
15 Thanon
Sukhumvit, which
would mean the
property
occupies numbers
9-11 on lot 27
on minor road
number 15
running off
Thanon Sukhumvit
