Will be going tw this nov? From my understanding so far, its better to:

1) change a small sum in sg
2) change the remaining at tao yuan airport before immigration?

Not sure if my thinking is correct or not. Anyone can help enlighten? Thanks

Difficult to say, basically is S$100 per day per pax. If you are big shopper or party animal then you need more. :D

I cater about S$75 a day per pax nia, for Asia trips. Even Japan oso... I think it's actually a bit overbudget when I go tw/hk. So towards end of trip I always will splurge a bit on food coz got spare $$$... Maybe coz my friend and I usually don't shop. Usually just walk, see, eat. If really suddenly need to impromptu buy anything that cost more than what I budgeted for, I'll use CC...

S$75 a day per pax should be enough, but if you are with a shopper, I tell you sure have to bring more or pay by cc.
Man is simple, lady 100% shopper.

on scoot, not buying much other than someone introduced the noodles at carrefour.

Then budget to S$50-75 a day per pax. I always bring extra $ in sgd in case you need more cash.
If you book driver, it's going to cost you around S$150 a day.

I budget 100 per day (excluding fixed/known cost such as pre-booked driver) so that I dont have to think twice if i want to splurge on food. Got excess cash just keep for next trip!
