You got see news bo even now operator increase the fare rate but airport still not enough taxi because many dont want to go there unless they have drop off for departure or nearby...

No restriction by smrt. As long you don't block the flow or humans, like board the last train car, it's okay.

Carrefour most are hypermart. is great. Price wise a tiny bit expensive but you can grab all that u need at one shot its a good thing for me. I don't like to buy souvenirs bit by bit must lug it around as I sightsee very tiring.

 

[simongoh2000]

From kaohsiung, i will take train to chiayi
Choose arrive Early by 8:30am
Then hop on the 9am train.
Hsr is not exactly convenient though as you need to change a couple nore times.

Yes there is a transfer from Chiayi THSR to the TRA - 30 min journey. Is there a direct train from KSH to Chiayi TRA? Thks!

High mountain tea, pineapple snacks, biscuits, fruit jellies, whatever that's made in Taiwan that family would appreciate.

Agree

But generally no issue one la, it's just the needle tool that u need to open the sim card tray to make life easier.

Taiwan sim is no different from SG prepaid. Turn phone off, change sim, turn phone on. Done.

IPhone esim I heard even easier.
