Hi, did you pay the deposit required when collecting the device with credit card? I saw a person's review that mentioned that he had to pay in cash. I recall that I could use credit card for deposit in my previous experience booking through KT Olleh's website directly.

Yes I do, they just want to secure it only. but no any charge for the card.

Thanks for the clarification! Just realised that the Klook deal's description also mentioned:

"From 1 Jan 2018, local operator has stopped accepting cash deposits. You will need to have a credit card under your name, with more than 3 months validity, to pay the deposit"

Another question: Is data quota unlimited and not throttled?

By the way, do we need to make full payment for the wifi rental on Klook first? Sorry, i'm not too familiar with this platform.

No data limit. The speed was just good for me in 7 days.

Full payment with Klook. But if you change your mind you also can Free Cancellation - 48 Hrs Notice.
The refund button will show after you booked.

Excellent. Truly appreciate your feedback on this. I think I will give Klook a try for this KT Olleh wifi deal.

hi... I am going to Korea end of this month. i would like to know what is the best way to spend money there? i.e change won from Malaysia, or bring RM and change to won in Korea or use credit card there?

Anyone going there same date as mine?

Hello there! I've a question to ask - Are the rates better from the ATM machines in Incheon compared to the money changers around? I've been advised to withdraw in Incheon instead of changing wads of cash before reaching there.

Also - flights have been cheap! RM1k return on MAS is cheap!

Air Asia X. As cheap as 660 now. Cheap place, hostel obviously. Can get about as cheap as RM40 per night.

MAS 1k return on which month?

I bought for June. Now I think its about 1.2k. Still not bad I guess.

June is summer. Good luck facing heatwave in South Korea during that time. but its nice to lepak2 at beaches.

Haha. June is still quite alright actually compared to July/August. For a person that meets a gets rain/gloomy weathers a lot, the sun is a nice change.

I used to withdraw thru Citibank ATMs (widely available), using Maybank debit card, there's a RM10.60 charges, but rates would be better than money changer in KL.
Advisable if you're withdrawing 700k-1mil.
Other than that, bring USD to exchange at Myeongdong also better rates.

Are you sure about this? The better rate could be due to fluctuations in favour as you withdraw through ATM presumably 1 or 2 days later? Some of the money changers - their spreads are competitive..like maybe 1.2% for Won? Can't imagine banks giving better rates cos if u send money though TT, they give expensive rates like 1 to 1.5% above money changers.

That's what I heard from my friend as well. He flies to Korea quite often and he found out about this when he had a last minute flight to Korea. By the way, MBB card charges RM12. But he just told me that after that time, he never changed again lol. That's why I am checking in with the forumers. haha.
