I only wish the UK £ was pegged to the HKD , like the USD is pegged to the HKD.

I know the rates are pegged, but not all banks/money exchanges give the same rates.  So my question is when I arrive at the airport, will I have the same bank rate there as in the city center.

According to a Hong Kong guide book best place to exchange currency is to use the local hong kong banks (i.e Hang Seng).
But they will charge you a commission. American Express Offices also do exchanges ,but they have a slightly lower exchange rate. They don't however charge a commission.

If you dont want to use hotels or money changers to exchange your money ... your ONLY other avenue is through
banks !!!  

Just change it at a bank. Supposedly Hang Seng Bank offers the best rates for foreign currencies. But if you are not converting a fortune any bank should do.

western union in chungking mansion surprisingly gives very good rates!

there is a money changer outside James S Lee Mansion that gives the best exchange rates within TST.  I've looked everywhere around TSt and he always comes up with the best.  It's also handy so you can change some cash on the way up to the girls!!

Unless this dude is talking bout hundred of thousands cash dollars (6 digits at least), how much difference does it make on the forex exposure???

WTF!!! If u can get to HK buying those expensive air ticket and spending tons of cash on pussy, does it really matter to lose some on the money exchange??

I still think this is a Dumb question. Either he never travel before to another country or he just a cheapo..........

... best way to get ripped off is to go to a bank!!!

You're right hunt...there isn't a large difference in the money you get in your hand from varying exchangers unless you're changing $$$$....I guess he is just naive.  

Hey wacko is Hunter your Boytoy or something? Why you sucking his pussy?

sorry.....you're boring me with your prepubescent attempts at being witty.  Go away and eat your own shit.  At tleast that will stop you from talking shit!

Here's how to get the best FX rates ... anywhere ...

Open a trading account with Interactive Brokers
Transfer your money in (takes about 3 days to clear)
Load the software and log in
Watch the exchange rates closely - this is the fun bit - the rates scream up and down, second by second - you can literally see the best possible price that someone paid anywhere in the World, within milliseconds of them agreeing the price, live.
Then ... time your move ... and enter an offer at just the right price to take advantage of the swings
Bingo, you got the best rate.  And the commission fees are really low.   

If you like that you might even be tempted to go a little further:
with a trading account you get leverage,
which means with just $2,000, you can actually buy $100,000 of currency
which means that a swing in your favour makes a lot of money very quickly!
... so if you want to change, say $1,000 (for those 8 HGs you want), instead you change $50,000, and a few seconds later change back $49,000 at a more favourable rate.  

Who knows, you might even make money that way?  

Takes balls though ... it's a lot higher octane than betting on horses ... try it and report!

It seem like you guys with alot of post are being dicks! What's wrong with the question?
