Yea you can buy on the spot but as I remember if you buy together with the ticket can get discount right?

I was lucky to have purchased it earlier cos when I was done checking-in and claimed the GST all the restaurants at the airport already closed.  doh.gif

buy online is cheaper .

rm10 for the meal ?@@

Hi guys! such a great info here! i'll be heading to Seoul next week for about a week..weather ranges from 10c-23c...not too cold during the day right? or if anyone is at seoul right now can kindly tell me how's the weather there and wat kind of clothings should i bring? i have the following itinerary for the 1st 2 days..appreciate if someone can provide some comments:

Day 1:
-arrival morning
-check in guesthouse
-walk around Bukchon area
-visit Changdeokgung and Gyeogbokgung
-Insadong
-Cheonggyecheon Stream
-Namsan park, N Seoul Tower and cable car

Day 2:
-DMZ tour in the morning
-After lunch Shopping at Myeongdong, Itaewon etc

I feel that the itinerary for Day 1 is a bit too packed...so not sure whether i should shift Namsan Park to the second day..rnough time to stroll around Namsan park for 3-4 hours? any comments are appreciated..thank you! =)

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

Refer to Wawasan-lah...Currently they are selling at 2.86
http://www.wawasanmoneychanger.com.my/exchangeRates.asp

However on Korean won, they are not the cheapest. From my survey, you can get atleast RM2.83 if you change ~ Ikano, Atria, & Bkt bintang area.

BTW, Market rate as per Bank Negara latest is at RM2.78. http://www.bnm.gov.my/statistics/exchangerates.php  it's impossible getting this rate. Wth RM2.83 as the best benchmark Today, If you convert to US$ 1st & thereafter to Korean won, you will be getting slighty better at RM2.80-2.81 at Seoul..well..just a small token haha

got 2.8 rate at kota bharu kelantan , maybank very exp (2.94)

haha you wrong liao lor...When you buy Korean Won, you suppose to look at Selling rate & not buying rate. Buying rate is when you come back from Korea & want to convert back to RM.

If buying rate in Kelantan ~ RM2.80, probably the selling rate there can be as high as RM2.95.  smile.gif

haha confuse d .


2molo flight to kl need to change some more .

For those who desperately need to change Korean Won at KLIA.
Better change it after check in. I change it at  the departure hall, cheapest rate can get is 3.1 but inside can get 2.91
Thank God I only change few hundred.
Central Market ( near KFC, corner) got quite good rate for Korean Won. Last time I check is 2.78 but during that time Bank Negara rate is only 2.69. Wawasan rate seriously not for Korean Won

i change at the mines @ 2.87

jusco at equine park too.
