What are the good places for currency exchange other than the airport please?

Sorry if it was a repeated Q. Thanks.

Travelling to Colombo first time. Would appreciate if someone recommends good 3 or 4 star GF hotels in Colombo.

Cheers.

Could I get some help on finding (friendly) hotels, currency exchange, transportation, possible (ten-day) rental, etc. Please? Could I get a SIM card at the airport? Many thanks.

It would be advised not to plan on a lay-over or stop-over at Baoshan. 95% of the hotels would not accept anyone without a Chinese ID, therefore all your traveling documents of passport, visa,...

All dead or on life support.

Any news in Yuxi or Dong Xing?

I visited the border city, not much change and not much new except I found the prices lower. Some for four hundred, more for five, many for six, and some for seven hundred, there was one for twelve...

HP2, please share more details on your last experience. How were the selection / service quality, did you use delivery service? Having a good guide always helps, eVisa looks good, thank you.

Yuxi is completely dry. All shops are gone and you have to find it through pimps. Some hotels will allow the laboans to come around and approach you and some won't or wouldn't have any contact on...

Does anyone know how to get from the Beijing Capital Airport Terminal 2 to Muxiyuan Long-distance Bus Terminal (木樨园长途汽车站, phone:010-6726-7149?) …… In one hour. That’s right, I will have only one hour...

I have recently heard and also read it on a couple of websites about thieves on long-distance sleeper buses to and from Kunming. Apparently, it has been happening while the passenger(s) is sleep and...

I had a short stop in Sapa. It seems it is the end of the road for tourists and backpackers coming from Laos.

There is nothing to do there unless you are into trekking. My hotel cost VND100,000...

When I arrived at the bus station I asked a taxi driver to take me to a hotel so, he took me to the most expensive hotel in town. I had to explain I was looking for something more reasonable and...

I stayed at Mo Hon Hotel in Mo Hon. A nice sunny clean room, good service, friendly staff, 60 Yuan per night and there was hot water all day long. The loud music from the next-door Karoake place...

What a dump. Avoid like a plague. The place is a crossroad for European backpackers. What chaos, just what NGO’s have always dreamed of. Would anyone agree that woman backpackers are among the most...

What pity to see such a town like Mae Sai with so much potential gone limp as is. Perhaps because so many castaways have chosen to take refuge there, I had never seen such losers before. To add to...

I visited the usual places of interests. The first advice is to make sure you have more than enough Baht, Yuan, and some local money on you before you cross the border. Otherwise, you would not be...

Strike #1, my visa application was denied. I wouldn’t be able to go where I wanted to go but I could go where they would like me to go. Was told to try the border for a better luck!
