Anyone has the list of phone number for attraction in Jeju? Better if you experienced and verified the phone number that you really went. biggrin.gif
Want to compare what I found from google. notworthy.gif

Mt Sanbangsan & Yongmeori Coast
Phone number : 7942940

Daepo Jusangjeolli Cliff (Jungmun lava columns)
Phone number : 7381521

Jeongbang waterfalls.
Phone number : 7331530

Seongsan Ilchungbong (Sunrise Peak)
GPS coordinates: 7830959 or 7107923

Seopjikoji
Korean GPS coordinates (by phone number): 7604251 (This number will NOT bring you to Seopjikoji and will bring you to the middle of nowhere so just drive in this direction and then follow the roadsigns pointing towards Seopjikoji; this number 7820080 might get you there – unverified)

Udo Island
Korean GPS coordinates (by phone number): 7825671 (This number is NOT accurate – instead, use this number 7843136 which leads to a local produce shop just beside the ferry ticket office)
15 minutes ferry rides.

Manjanggul Lava Cave
Phone number : 7834818

*I don't arrange to go all this place in a day ya.

Don't be ignorant and assume I'm asking the cheapest price for this current promo. Read my question again. I'm asking what's cheapest price to seoul. Macamlah very susah to tell whether it's 5xx or 6xx or 7xx?

I found 700 year end. If there's gonna be cheaper then I'll wait for next promo.

If you'd use the search link I'd given you, you would have the same answer. Here it's done for you.

Helo,

Want ask opinion,

If I do money exchange service MYR to KRW for LYN members,
would you prefer to pay me through Maybank MYR before you fly, and when reach Korea, I give you cash? The rate will be set on the day you pay.

Or

You come Korea, I meet you at hotel or somewhere, then on the spot, you transfer Maybank MYR to me, and then I straight give you cash. Rate also set at that day.

What is the fees for money exchanger that you normally use?

I refer to xe.com and give out cheaper exchange rate than xe.com.
For example, now xe.com is RM1 = 270 won. I give cheaper rate at RM1 = 272won.
I think should be cheaper than any money exchanger in Malaysia..

Do you think my service is worth it or not?

Personally, when my family come, I just give them my Korean credit card, and let them swipe. Then, they just bank in Maybank after they go back.

koonghx Since we are all very new to this I think most would prefer option 2 for now but if only we have roaming (I usually don't) otherwise wouldn't be able to get the TAC to the transfer on the spot.

If you could give the rate you said then yes it is a very good deal for us and yes obviously better than any money changer in KL.

Question is can you meet whenever (say, 11am, 3pm, 9pm?) or wherever (only hongdae station? hw bt hotspot like seoul station/myeongdong station?)

Well.. You can just ask someone back in Malaysia to transfer it for you, if TAC is a problem. But I think receive SMS is free?

Yes, the rate is as I said.

Well.. If it's big amount, then any time, any where in Seoul is good as long as agree earlier.
I suggested Hongdae because it's where I live and the airport train stops there, plus every tourist go there anyway~
