Accepted Answer

No operating any type of drone including tiny recreational models is absolutely strictly strictly prohibited everywhere inside the Peradeniya Botanical Gardens. The massive park contains incredibly rare highly sensitive bird species and massive roosting colonies of thousands of giant fruit bats hanging from the tall trees. The loud high pitched buzzing of a drone instantly terrifies and aggressively disrupts the wildlife. The park security guards patrol constantly and will rapidly confiscate your drone and issue a massive fine if you attempt to launch one.

Gem Museum Commission ScamVerified

TukTuk or tour drivers take you to "gem museums" or "government-certified" gem shops. They receive huge commissions (up to 40%) on anything you buy. Prices are inflated 3-10x the actual value.

Men approach tourists near Temple of the Tooth offering to be guides. After the tour, they demand large "donations" or guide fees (5000-10000 LKR).
