just go open a Citibank savings/checking account and get an ATM card (Rm8).
maybank dun think it will work. even our mobile phones dun work here Lol

is there other flight to korea besides air asia and mas?

Stayed at Kensington Flora Hotel before.. no good and abit spooky feeling!

found out another thing, for our GSM mobile phone to work here,
u need to enable 3G. their mobile service is using data.

going to monday flight ,anyone here with me ?

No one can answer me?

Up to you. since you're no longer in winter mth 7 even spring. If you can stand Fraser hill without sweater & even CH without sweater during daytime should be OK.

a windbreaker will do...the wind is the enemy actually.

hi guys electronic devices.... is our plug compatible with korea's??? do we need a converter or anything???

Thanks!

to use maybank atm, you need to activate for withdrawal in korea prior going there (call to maybank & inform the period of your travelling to Korea so they activate it for you) . if you don't activate it, then you won't be able to withdraw.
You can withdraw at the atm machine with "global atm" sign.. easy to find in Myeongdong area..

3G phone will be able to do roaming here.. but please turn off your data roaming function to prevent incurring high cost..

they're using the 2 round pin plug.. it's best you buy the international adapter in Malaysia, coz my friend who forgot to bring it were unable to find the adapter in Korea, ended up borrowing mine to charge her phone everyday..

if you are using 2 pin plug then no problem. if 3 pin plug you need an adapter.

I did activate my Oversea Maybank Withdrawal & I tried 2 banks at Dongdaemun i.e Citibank & Standard Chartered...All failed

aiya maybank canot withdraw at there .

airport lcct have good rate for won ?

bad real bad,no joke i tried have a look before i enter the gate. the rate was really bad

Yes. Very much more expensive. Those money changers there are really laughing their way to the banks.

where is preferred ? bank ?

Banks always having bad rate.. Goto those Money changers in town. Suprisingly Wawasan at mid Valley dun really qoute good Won..Goto those fronting Bkt bintang Plaza, Wisma Atria, or even inside Ikano (Opposite Uncle Lim for better Won.

Otherwise, change to US$ 1st & thereafter get marginally better rate at incheon airport

yeah ,lucky i gt usd at me now ,

i will try to see see , cz i now at kelantan . can give some benchmark rate ?2.8 or 2.9?
