How much does a Thambili cost on the street.

If a vendor demands 500 Rupees or more for a single coconut, they are absolutely scamming you. Simply smile, say no, and walk to the next vendor down the street.

When you finish drinking the water inside, hand the empty shell back to the vendor. They will expertly slice it open and fashion a small spoon from the husk so you can scoop out the soft, sweet jelly inside for free.
