I tell him my colleague has a separate room booked ("2 separate rooms!"), upon which he asks me to hold the line, following by an apology. My colleague was quite offended by this given that the implication was that some guests 'bring prostitutes up to their rooms'. I also find it quite offensive and frankly downright unprofessional. I'm sure it is not uncommon for guests to bring prostitutes to their rooms here (even though it is a full service hotel), but that this would even enter the mind of the front desk agent is not OK.
I think you're over-reacting.
First, if a Thai girl comes to a hotel in Thailand in the middle of the night and asks to join an ex-pat man in his room and she is not on his reservation the hotel has to consider the reasons why she might be doing that. They may or may not have made assumptions about her.
But calling your room and asking if it's OK. ABSOLUTELY!!! That's a simple security check. Otherwise you'd have a line of scammers and thieves standing outside your hotel door.
My assumption is that when she arrived she knew that you had a room for her but no idea if the room was in your name or hers. So she used your name. Hotel thought she was joining you. Reasonable confusion.
You're making a big deal of nothing. Relax. Enjoy Bangkok.
