Building Furniture Blockades in Bangkok's Baiyoke Suites

Should you believe everything you read in a hotel review? Should you jump off a skyscraper if someone tells you too? Of course, you have to take everything you read everywhere with a grain of salt, but blogger thru-e-rain decided it was better to be safe than sorry after her online review discoveries on her recent trip to Bangkok with her Mom. Her plans went astray when the Baiyoke Sky Hotel was fully booked and she ended up settling for the Baiyoke Suite instead. That's when things got a bit strange:

I was reading online hotel reviews and they were mostly NEGATIVE in nature. Almost 95% said it was a terrible hotel to stay in ... The scariest review that I read was that someone went into their room at 5am in the morning, and fortunately the couple was awake and asked what that fella was doing, and that chap just said he got the wrong room and left.  Atrocious right?! ... So I had this formation to BLOCK the door, should anyone want to try to get in to attack us! Nice? I used all the portable stuff there was in the room already, short of carrying the huge sofa to the door as well.

The result? Well, she doesn't say exactly, saying that the hotel was actually pretty nice. So presumably no mystery men got past her blockaded door and the holiday was happy ever after.
