Taking cash to South Korea from Britain
  • camermcamerm
    My son is about to travel to South Korea to teach. My estranged husband has supplied him with £1000 worth of SK Won. The currency could fill a carrier bag - too much and too unsafe to take as hand/check in luggage. If he takes them back to the bank, could anyone recommend a better, safer alternative?
    Cheers

    I too would be very interested to know. How much local and foreign currency should one carry on oneself? What about carrying US dollars also? Are there many money exchangers around Seoul or other parts of South Korea? Which is the better place to exchange or access your money accounts - money exchangers or banks or ATMs?
    Thanks
