Nui Knows a Room

The mouth of the soi on a Tuesday evening, Nui on his motorbike: I'm looking for a room in Sathorn; my cousin has rooms, Soi Suan Phlu; can I see one? You can, seven thousand, can you? I can; can I cook? Cooking, you can't, boiling water, you can; can you take me there? I can, Thursday, half past five; half past five, here: can, can't and can you?
