Soi Arab is an alleyway in Bangkok. It is a center for Middle Eastern visitors and expatriates, with numerous Arabic restaurants and shops.[1] 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.[2] Several restaurants in the area offer outdoors water pipe smoking, and shops offer expensive agarwood for sale.
