Campbell was wearing shorts and couldn't get in, so i was sent back to the room to get a pair of trousers on, burn and the others went in for a drink. Fair enuff.
We were in room 2909 (29th floor) and it is a card entry system , stoobie the card in the slot and the door opens, take card out again, sort of thing. Burn had a problem with her card when we first arrived, but we sussed it. So, back i go to the room - stoobied the card in the slot, no worky. Tried again, for a full 10 minutes - all different angles all different combinations of stoobie. Nothing. So, i thought, having been away for, like, 15 mins, that Burn would come and get me to see what the problem was - obviously i couldn't go up to the 37th floor cause i wasn't allowed in, and i didn't fancy going to reception and explaining the card situ. Yeah, i'd sit tight and wait for burnsie.
15 mins later (that's 25 in total) nothing. I got back again and try the door. Nope.
I bit the bullet and go down to the reception area and explain the me card no worky. She re-programs it for room 2909 and i trot off back up in the lift, speaking to a bellboy as i do this. I get out and go along to the room, stoobie the card in - YES, i'm in, it works. Only trouble is - it's the wrong bloomin room!!!! Not only that - it's actually Hym0rs and Fi's room!!! I've made a total backside of it, been trying to get in their room (2909) instead of ours (2609)!!!!! What a numpty. So i go back down in the lift again (meeting and confusing the bellboy once again) to reception and try to explain my way out of that one!!!! Back up to the 26th floor - back into the room where Burn is waiting wondering what the hell is going on. Couldn't stop laffing about the entire incident.
Eventually got myself together had a few drinks and that was that.
This is the view from the Sofitel's 26th floor of Bangkok.
