Part of a Thai address


Explanation:
"A "Moo" is the smallest of the administrative areas, usually a village, but may be a housing development or an area of a town, village or city. A "Moo" is distinguished by being awarded a local administrator (Phu Yai Baan) who acts as general councilor and performs duties such as witnessing official documents etc.

You may also find the word "soi" as well. The links also make clear what this is.

Explanation:
This is answer would be valid if your text is about Thailand or its neighborhoods. As you can find in the links below, "moo" refers to a special sub-division in a district. In the 2nd link you can see that in a table, under the word "Moo", numbers 1-9 are written.
