Hi Guys,
I shall be arriving at Kuching Airport via KL with US$. Where do I change them into Ringgit ?? 1) Some at KL airport ??? 2) Or at Kuching Airport ??
3) Balance at local money changers at Kuching ???
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks in advance,
Carlos de Souza.

You can change it in Kl airport or Kuching airport, it doesn't matter. The rates are almost the same. It is now about 3.44 ringgit to 1 USD. Normally, the money changer outside the airport will give you a better rate. It also depends how much you want to change. For small amount, it won't be much different where you change them.

Thanks, Audrey. In that case, I will change a bit at KL and then the rest at the local money changers in one of the shopping malls in Kuching.

Cheers !!

Thanks very much, Roger, for the excellent suggestions.

Specially obliged to you for your comments on credit cards.

Hi Carlos

I just like to add on changing money at KLIA. The money changers will change you a minimal fee so if you want to change its better to get your money using your card at the machine at KLIA. Yes local money changers in the city do give better rate then hotel.

Thanks very much, Mary, much obliged.

Cheers !!
Carlos.
