In Reply to: VOA's in AUS $$$ - a rip off? posted by jennymc on Tuesday, 17. June 2008 at 15:42 Bali Time:
Travelers will go to the airport in Australia & happily exchange their aussie dollars into good old US currency. They get a not so great exchange rate & will mostly pay commission. No complaints from the happy travelers after this transaction.
Other travelers will land in Bali with their aussie dollars in hand ready to pay the VOA. They get a not so great exchange rate & all they do is complain about being ripped off !!
Pay either way, you'll end up parting with the same amount of money.
