The route from the house through the wooded area to the fields that the farmer and his buffalo passed along every day, which became wide, smooth, and free of grass from constant use, was called a soi and this is the origin of the Thai word used to refer to a lane in a town or city.

One of those interesting factoids that you would never guess.
