ONE TIP: NEVER SETTLE FOR FIRST PRICE IF YOU ARE SHOPPING at CHA CHU CHAK MARKET OR BUYNG FOOD FROM HAWKERS. ALWAYS USE A METER TAXI.

if you are into heavy shopping at Pratunam area and want real good massage with the price of max USD70.00.
Based on the above, I suggest that you look at the following :
1) Best Western Mayfair at Petchburi Soi 13 - good 3* start hotel. They have a tuk tuk which bring you within 500 meters around the hotel.
2) White Palace at Petchburi Soi 15 - centrally located in the heart of shooping area.
3) Centerpoint Petchburi - spacious and clean located at Petchburi Soi 15. The price may be a little bit more than your budget

For a real good massage, go to Reborn Massage and Spa locate at Petchburi Soi 15. You can identified them by a hand logo and its purple color background on their menu board. They are among the best amidst the many massage shops in Pratunam / Petchburi.
The owner is from Singapore and imposed a strict rules that all the therapist must be well trained from Wat Pho and have at least 2 years working experience.

Lastly on your question for the transport to city, it cost you about 350.00 to 400.00 based on meter. Pls check that the meter is on and insist that it is turn on the minute that you board the taxi.

i almost stay at centrepoint petchburi last june, but last minute stick to evergreen place due to their free upgrade to junior suite.
