Some smaller shops away from main tourist paths have better prices. Ask locals or your guesthouse for recommendations. Smell and compare.

Scam Watch: galle

Fake Gem Export SchemeVerified

Someone befriends you and offers a "once in a lifetime" opportunity to buy gems at wholesale prices and resell them abroad for huge profit. They may show you fake export certificates. The gems are worthless glass or low-quality stones.

Beach Restaurant Menu ScamVerified

Restaurants without visible prices. Bill arrives with inflated charges (500 LKR coconut becomes 1500 LKR). "Service charges" added without disclosure.
