anyone know where to get good rates for Korean Currency?

what is the shop name bro? or beside what shop?
i want to compare with wawasan mid valley for usd

Dongdaemun Station Exit 6. Buy your USD here in Malaysia first.

you mean still cheaper to convert to usd then buy Korean in korea?

Yes, and the money changer outside Dongdaemun Station Exit 6 provides the highest buying rate for USD i've come across. And just in case you run out of USD and only has MYR available but desperately need to exchange some KRW, this money changer at Dongdaemun buys MYR too. The exchange rate was RM2.82 = KRW1,000 when i was in Seoul three weeks ago. Most money changers in Malaysia were selling KRW1,000 for RM2.80. As you can see, the rate is quite good actually.

Alternatively, you can charge everything into your Maybank VISA or MasterCard as Maybank credit card is known to the best card for overseas use due to their unbeatable final exchange rate. I used my Maybank VISA at a few cosmetics shops, LOTTE, Shinsegae and a theater in Insadong, the lowest exchange rate was RM2.73 = KRW1,000 while the highest was RM2.741 = RM1,000

Hi, would like to ask if i want to exchange let say 1 million yen to RM.
Normal money changer can do so? is there any additional charge?

can. No additional charges in malaysia

thanx for the quick reply.
1 mil yen maybe around RM38k.
Save to do so? maybe Midvalley is better cos bank is nearby already.

hmm.. another question. Anyone know what is the max limit amount of cash that can bring into Malaysia?

USD 10,000 or equivalent

should we change baht in malaysia or thailand? or which money changer is the best ?

AUD is dropping and dropping hehe, too bad already changed AUD1k last week. I wonder when will our money chargers will revise their price.

Hi.. need advise. I'm going to Ho Chi Min end of this month.. don't really hv time to do research...& the last time i went overseas was 12 yrs ago.
Appreciate if you guys could advise on which currency should i change..US or Dong?.. or do i need both?..
To be safe...Hv much roughly do i need to exchange for a 5 day trip?..

Hi and a very good day to all...

I'll be coming back from india and want to change Indian Rupee 20,000... from my reading here, the best places are bb plaza, MV, and also masjid india...

But, i will be travellin from KLIA to KL Sentral to Rawang... should i change in any 3 of these locations?

So, to all taiko or old timers here, where is the best place for me to change? or should i just take the LRT to masjid india and change it there? or perhaps go take monorail to BB just to exchange... really do need your advice...

Just look around KL Sentral area. Although no one reporting about the rate there. Just for convenient, willing to forfeit a little bit of $$ to change at KL Sentral more than the time you wasted + trpt cost going to BB Plaza & etc..

Ipoh no idea.. You really need to compare any money changer there yourselve.. I'm based in Klang Valley..Seldom goto Ipoh

Okay... Anyway thanks! If Klang valley, what are the recommended places?
For those Ipoh lang, just drop ur msg here... Thanks!

No point going down to Klang Valley if just few RM0.10-.020 diff..The cost of coming down not worth it.. Ended up you paying more. Just get those near you.

Klang Valley one already discussed much earlier.. Mesjid India, BB Plaza, Mid Valley, PJ-Curve..all very competitive wth differences sometime not worth the effort of time & traveling cost to convert

Ok... Just in case I am going down to KL. Thanks!
