Tuk tuk is easiest with big bag. Short ride to most guesthouses. Walk if your place is close but bag will suck. Drivers waiting at station usually.

Yeah tuk tuk for sure with heavy luggage. Cheap and quick. Don't struggle walking.

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.

Unofficial Temple Guide ScamVerified
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).
