Sorry to hear about your troubles ... you must have gotten # 403 or similar-size room: http://www.flickr.com/photos/kalboz/5228478628/

Even when considering the cultural differences (as calling someone pompui is not really offensive in Thailand), hospitality employees who on the most part interact with foreigners must adhere to a certain professional code of conduct and be trained on what's sensitive for the guests' cultures.
