Thanks sa reply po. We are going there on weekdays. So I think the weekend rush was not an issue already. We'll try to buy our ticket at cts na lang din siguro as suggested here and try to avail discounts. I've checked na din their website, planning to get our other tickets/entrance there also.
i plan to buy gadgets in hong kong..mas cheaper ba yung apple products in hong kong?? compared to cash prices here in the philippines? lets say a macbook pro base model
i think di sila nagkakalayo ng price check their website Official Apple Store Hong Kong - Buy iPhone, iPad, iPod, Mac Computers and Notebooks, and More - Apple Store (HongKong) tapos try mo in convert yung price nila sa pesos
how about other sources besides apple store? another question, can i buy refurbished mac products on the apple store in hong kong?
^ yes you can always buy. A little cheaper i guess but your problem might be the customs here, which you might pay for the gadgets bought outside of the country.
From the online store? I'm not sure if they'll ship it to your hotel (I assume you don't have an HK address) and if they take Philippine credit cards.
Im currently in kowloon. This is true, may be a few hundred pesos cheaper only. Some gadget stores like fortress and sunning are selling apple products at almost the same price as the Apple store.
been there around 2 weeks ago. conducted a training at tung wah college and we stayed at cityview hotel. 10 second walk to the yau ma tei mtr station. there are lots of electronic stores and the esprit outlet was walking distance only. lapit din ng mongkok. its actually at nathan road. lots of good food around especially yung bakery na may ma-ling roll. apple products around the area are almost the same as the ones in the online store nga.
The list price of the authorized resellers in HK is the same as the online appleHK prices but sometimes, you can get freebies or discounts from them.
how about the new ipad prices? konti lang din ba difference compare sa cash price that we can get from charlie? Can we take a bus from tst to oceanpark? or we have to go to admirality to take the bus from there? and yung double-decker bus ba from admirality are the same bus if we take the bus from tst(kung pwede lang na sa tst na magbus)?
Depends on the exchange rate, pero i would say almost same price lang HK Apple Store with Charlie's price. Less than 500pesos price difference.
thanks sir auron. another question, may malaking locker din ba sa ocean park na pwede irent? Sir kolim, if less than 500 or 1k lang, siguro nga dito nalang. I'll try to call sir charlie first para macheck nalang siguro price before umalis.
Mga sir, meron ba nakabase dito sa atin na muggers na taga hk?mag ask lang ako how much exchange rate dun ngayon? Kung peso ba o usd dapat dalhin? Kung ano po mas ok dalhin. Thanks po.
Make sure you read the HK thread in Pinoyexchange.com! Lots of info and tips on where to change your pesos there!
Thanks ma'am katrinahsi! big help po. Ok na din pala na peso and dala. Sir mykolant, i'll try to browse it again. Mga 1mo. Ago na ata since nang basahin ko yun. Page 1-3 lang ata and few of the last pages. hehehe.
I'm sure ma'am katrinashi meant "HKD 1.00 = PHP 5.49". Also, please take note of BSP currency regulations. Currency Regulations It is illegal for any incoming or outgoing passenger to bring in or out Philippine Pesos in excess of P10,000.00 without prior authority from the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas. Any violation of this rule may lead to its seizure and civil penalties and/or criminal prosecution. (BSP Circular 98-1995)The transportation of foreign currency or monetary instruments is legal. However, the carrying of foreign currency in excess of US$10,0000.00 or its equivalent in other foreign currencies must be declared to a Customs Officer or the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas. Violation of this rule may lead to seizure and sanctions, fines and/or penalties.
We just got back from HK 2 days ago. Most money exchange shops at Tsim Shia Tsui area offer $1=HK$7.70. Btw, If you are travelling with kids, you better be prepared for light showers in the afternoon.
