It was a dead-ended alleyway and thus less car traffic in comparison to other gay districts in broader Patpong.

As of 1990s, 20 years since Twilight moved to Soi Pratuchai, the entirety of establishments in the alleyway became gay bars.

Soi Pratuchai's legacy of gay tourism suddenly came to an end, worsened by the COVID-19 pandemic in Thailand.

Several upstairs bars still feature (technically illegal) sex shows, with boys performing various creative acts.

Some establishments in Patpong employ kathoeys (or "ladyboys") either exclusively or as part of a mixed gender staff.
