You might get lucky depending on where you're staying in Thailand (Bangkok versus resort), but in Hong Kong and Singapore the hotel will pay attention and will notice. Everyone walks through the lobby and past the front desk; you can't sneak a strange person in and out through a side door.
The remedy is likely to be purchasing an additional room at rack rate or paying rack rate for a suite.
If you don't want to risk this, contact the hotel and ask whether your reservation can be changed to a room that holds three people.

In Europe we stayed at 7+ different accommodations when we visited last year with a then 2 and 6 year old. Each hotel recognized the 2 year old and 6 year old differently. We checked with the hotel directly to see if the accommodations would count as 2, 3 or 4 and when we made reservations we followed the hotel policy on their occupancy limit.

But in general the max occupancy is there for a reason. If not required by regulations than probably to limit the nuisance to others.
At the London Savoy, we made it clear about our party and booked a Deluxe room. The FPC Platinum desk contacted the hotel and ensure that the accommodations were appropriate. Oddly enough, a max 3 was listed on the website, but when calling the 2 year old didn't count. In fact the suites listed with max 3 allowed, but in the end we were able to book reasonably priced accommodations.
I found it was not bad to book for a party of 4 with 2 kids on our travels to Europe. Even say on expedia, just enter the number in the party on a search, a list of accommodations pop up with prices on the search query. With kids, I would also query one less, and read through hotel policies. Sometimes there were no price differences when adding a person onto the reservation. I would book the extra person in the accommodations just as a precaution.
