Indeed indeed, I did changed RM6k yesterday. Gonna bring RM cash there, understand some of the money changer in Myeongdong can change, we just need to ask around.

Provided they still accept RM la..lol..

You'll probably use the most cash in Jeju and Busan (sort of) though. Many places there don't accept credit cards, except for restaurants (even then, not all restaurants take cards either). So just budget for those 2 places properly, cash wise.

Urgent here !!!

I lost my wallet in korea, so what should i do? Only msia document are lost eg MYkad, lisence, atm. Passport is safe with me. Will be appreciate you guys advice.

make a police report locally if you already in malaysia. then use the report to reissue your mykad and licence.
btw, call to bank and cancel the atm card first!!!

Taking about our RM

Pray hard then. I have amex, visa and mastercard. If they don't accept cc, no choice use cash then.

Hi Guys,

I am travelling to Incheon arriving at 5.30pm today for work.
Need to go to Mokpo (Southern side) by train.

Can someone guide me on the train schedule, price etc. It is a 4 hours train ride, do they have some kind of business class.

Thanks in advance.

i decided to bring my atm card along there
but not sure worth or not to atm my money out there @@
anybody have done it recently?

Do remember to activate your PLUS. You may find the PLUS logo behind your atm.
PLUS is international withdrawal, used it to withdraw in Singapore before.

yes you can withdrawal cash from oversea only at those atm with plus/cirrus logo.
you must first activate oversea withdrawal at atm or through internet banking
bare in mind bank will mark up the conversion rate and one time service charge is impose per transaction.
recommend for emergency use

i can call to maybank to activate right?

i see i thought the rate is better with this way @@
i will use one time at there only ...
can i activate by calling to the bank?

It very subjective to ask bank to activate the oversea withdrawal for you.
In technical explaination, it is a tag/indicator to allow you to perform oversea withdrawal.

I am sure you can turn it on yourself through domestic ATM. Or you may turn in on through internet banking. All bank system already customise the features to allow customer to activate/deactivate the option.

However, i am not sure your issuing bank have such function on their teller system to allow the teller turn it on on behalf of customer.

Anyone got a simcard when travelling in Seoul? Im going mid April for a week and thinking is it better buying a SIM or pocket wifi. Only 2 of us travelling. Pocket wifi is about RM105 for a week.

And anyone stayed near Jamsil stadium? Attending a concert there and its about 45 mins from Seoul. Might look for accommodation at Jamsil for a night or 2.

Just get a local sim card..and u can hotspot to ur partner whenever he/she needs.

Hello,
May I ask, for weather from 0-9 celcius, is uniqlo ultra light down jacket is enough? I'll be going next week.
Really appreciate your opinion and info.
Thank you!

yup..daytime is fine..but if nighttime u are outdoor, just remember to have a thicker innerwear.
