The general consensus seems to be your own bank ATM card gives the best rates. I don't know if this applies specifically to HK banks and Malaysia currency. I would say that airports are where you'd find the worse rates. |

Of course you can change Hong Kong bank notes at KLIA but like with any bank note exchange the rates will not be that great. That said, there are some pretty good moneychangers in the center of the city. Look for the tiny places with just one employee who is an old man wearing a pencil behind his ear - they seem to have the best rates. miguel -- Hit The Road!

My personal and unscientific experience with HK currency exchange shops is that the shops at the corner are usually more expensive than shops not located on a corner. I don't know why or even if it is indeed true. But I seem to see it that way, on my random checks. miguel -- Hit The Road!

Do you mean that the best rate is getting my money from my ATM card from the
ATM? "Peter L" ¦b¶l¥ó ¤¤¼¶¼g... "Tony Li" wrote in message news:3f620483$1@shknews01... Where can I get better exchange rate? Does KLIA exchange Hong Kong bank notes?

There are a lot of little money exchange places around, the rates are pretty much the same at most of them, give or take a sen here or there. Make sure you change your money back before you leave as once you have left the country with ringgit it is worthless anywhere else. -- suebo Posted via http://britishexpats.com |
