In the past, this alley was known to the Chinese as "Tong Heng Koi". .. The Charoen Chai community area has many valuable old buildings and is an important source of Chinese cultural products in Bangkok. .. The shophouses inside the alley were built since the reign of King Rama V. There are about 60 rooms called "Tek Ko Hang" which means long bamboo. The shophouses inside the alley are used for living.
