Nui's Tip
The mouth of the soi in the morning, the helmets on the rail: is there a boat shed for rent; Bangkok Noi, someone used to build boats there; is the slipway still there; still there, but no building any more; who do I ask; Uncle Prasit still lives next door; are you still riding; still riding, my son doesn't ride any more; tell him to come and see me: used to, still, and no longer.
