The cheapest rate as lotsa forumers here mentioned are those Money changers in front of BB Plaza, Mid Valley, Mesjid India (I'm not sure which one), Ikano (Opposite Uncle Lim) & few more..

Anyway depending on where you stay too. No point you stay in Port Klang and just for the cheapest rate, you willing to drive down to KL, paying toll, fuel & expensive parking just for the saving of ~ RM10 haha

Yes. To Taiwan, changing to US$ 1st & thereafter to NT$ at Taoyuen airport. You will be saving ~ RM30-RM40 for each RM1K you change doing this way. Reason beeing, NT$ is not well sold here locally..Imagine current market rate qouted my Bank Negara as per Today = 10.24 and you said money changer qouting 10.70.

Thai baht not much diff from market rate.. O was at Sg Wang & BB Plaza this Evening...Baht dropped further now only ~ 9.95!! 1st time for years RM>baht

BTW, surprisingly NT$ also can get pretty cheap in Sg Wang/BB plaza.. I saw one at 10.40..not bad

Japanese Yen this week at money changers opposite BB Plaza maintained at 39.80. but in Mid Valley price incresed to 40.20 darn mid Valley

what is one side & both side?

They charge depending on the charge card currency exchange at that point of time lor..for Ruppiah, normally more expensive than money changer for sure..for eg..if money changer you can get 343, you will expect between 355 to 366 using CC..reason beeing..Indon rupiah very close to market rate liao..but for country like Taiwan or Korea, charging using CC there might be cheaper bcos the money changer rate for won & NT$ bad in M'sia
