^Yun nga din ang worry namin. Baka mahirapan kami if peso ang dala namin. So sis, on your experience madami naman sa myeongdong mapapalitan ng PHP to KW? Tamang-tama dun din kami magstay.

[shygirlme]

^yep sis, nauna kasi friend ko sa Korea so naghanap na sya mapapapalitan namin and kinompare namin rate versus dito. Nung dumating kami nagtanong tanong muna kami sa ibang money changer bago kami bumalik don sa nakita nya na ok yung rate.

[ayi21]

^ay talaga. Mas okay kung ganun. thanks sis for the info! We might do the same na din!

Hi sis, I would suggest better bring USD kasi mas malaki ang exchange rate compared to PHP. But if you opt to bring PHP pa rin, marami din naman palitan across Myeongdong

[ayi21]

^Oh okay. So mas okay pa din ang USD ang dalhin compared to PHP?

[kccllj]

ayi21 yes yes mas okay to bring USD I always bring USD instead of PHP sa lahat ng travels ko and mas malaki talaga yung palitan. In my experience, medyo mababa ang kapalit na currency if PHP e.

[shygirlme]

^^^option din namin magdala ng USD, kaso ang mahal bumili ng USD dito since wala kaming dollar account.

[ayi21]

Thanks mga sis! Sige, usd na lang nga siguro ang dadalhin namin since usd din ang payroll namin. 🙂 Btw, meron ba max amount na pwede dalhin?

^sis ayi21, we stayed in Nine Tree Myeongdong last Feb 8 -11.  SUPER convenient ng location. Pagbaba ng airport bus, ilang lakad lang hotel na... Nakuha namin was twin room. Di ganon kalakihan.  Pero what we did pinagtabi namin yung twin beds.  2 adults  and 1 child kami.  Hindi naman kami siksikan.  Too bad lang may bayad yung breakfast na hindi na namin in-avail. Pero may direct pathway sila papuntang Coffee Bean kung gusto mo pumunta. There 3 in 1 coffee is also CBTL so baka naka-tie up sila.     Kung saan ka bumaba na bus stop, doon din ang sakay pabalik airport so di rin kami nahirapan nung pauwi na.  They have water dispenser sa hallway ng each floor so tipid din.  Sa wifi naman, nung nagpunta kami, medyo di ganon kabilis.  mas mabilis pa yung nirent ko na pocketwifi.  Pero overall, okay yung stay namin. Hope it helps!

[ayi21]

^Oh, wow. Mukhang good choice pala to. Mas okay for us since this will be our 1st time. Thanks sis! ☺️

We stayed at nine tree hotel myeongdong during my first trip to seoul in 2013.  Super convenient location. Very nice hotel.  We stayed at crown park hotel naman this june. It's located just accross lotte department store and duty free  in myeongdong.  The airport bus stops at the opposite side of the hotel. I highly recommend these two hotels.

This might be off topic, but do you know a very reliable seller ng korean items - like make up and food? Yung tipong who frequently visits korea or has supplier na direct? Naubos na stocks ng lip balm and food; looking for a reliable source sana. TIA!
