Around 12-15k LKR depending on the car and if stops included. Good drivers with AC are worth it. Don't go too cheap or you get bad service.

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.
