Accepted Answer

Standard street laundry services in Unawatuna charge by the kilo and aggressively machine wash and heavily tumble dry everything together. This will absolutely destroy delicate linen or silk shirts causing massive shrinkage. For expensive fabrics you must travel five minutes down the road to Galle Fort and use the premium laundry service at a major luxury hotel. Alternatively simply buy a small packet of soft detergent from the supermarket and hand wash your delicate linen items in your hotel bathroom sink hanging them out to dry naturally in the tropical breeze.

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.

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