Visiting HK soon. Now considering whether to bring lots of cash or just a minimal estimated amount for basic expenses to avoid too much leftover at end of trip.
Several methods:
Is paying everything by cash in HKD the best way to avoid poor exchange rate or incurring unnecessary charges and fees? If so, I feel like paying for hotel using cash too.
Several methods:
- Change all to HKD in Singapore using money changer. Spend only cash. (best?)
- Bring minimal like S$300 (~HKD$1650) and withdraw as needed in DBS ATM in HK (free but exchange rate much worse than Singapore's money changer?)
- Charge to credit card (Card issuer + MasterCard/Visa fees leading to poor exchange rate?)
