Why? Because at the Conrad Hotel there, the hotel is offering three Mercedes Benz SLKs as limos for single guests with little luggage.

The first singleton to try out this service was a lonely New Yorker who tested it back in November:

The launch of the new Mercedes SLK200 sports roadster limousine was used to pick up the first guest using the sports car, Mr. Matthew LoCicero, from the new Suvarnabhumi Airport and directly into the hotel's Lobby! Mr. Gregory Meadows, General Manager, and Mr. Wolfgang Huppenbauer, President & CEO of DaimlerChrysler (Thailand) were waiting to welcome him. Mr. LoCicero who flew from New York commented, "I like doing what no one else is doing....I am thrilled to be the first person to participate in this programme. Life is short, let's travel first class."

The service is part of the hotel's Ultimate Rush Package where single travelers with only carry-on luggage get priority immigration clearance, a speedy ride to the hotel and are ushered into their suite or room with utmost efficiency. And the prices are insanely reasonable at $250 for a regular room and $479 for a suite. Must stay for two days but get this, you get your very own "limited edition Mercedes Conrad Baseball cap." Shake and Bake!
