Lost in Translation
It's been a year since I've been in LOS so I'm not exactly fluent in Thai speak at this point but I've read the below response from my reservation request 5 times and what I get out of it is that--yes, I'm "confirmed" but they might give away my room because they are busy at that time so I should check back later. Unless I'm reading it wrong at this hotel "confirmed" in Thai means "if we have a room available you can have it".
