I think shifting demographics, publicity, overtourism and of course money all provoke change.
I would argue that Sukhumvit Soi 4 rose up in response to the commercialization of Patpong. It became a refuge for people who people who liked Patpong the way it was before the oddball tourists started rolling in…
And now Soi 4 has become a zoo and the pool playing, BG-chasing grizzled expats have migrated to Soi 8. In 20 years, that too will be over the top and there’ll be another shift… or a pivot away altogether.
Evolution.
