9.56, still not in. Ampitiya hotel. PickMe is the 8.42 zero-cars thread. Dalada tuks were the 9.30 nose-in thread. This is us, 20 minutes on foot, asking whether any three-wheeler at 9.56 is a real Ampitiya ride or another jeep-shaped exception.

Flag inland, not on Dalada. Sangaraja is the Ampitiya corridor they published - a tuk there is more plausible than a bajaj on the relic street. If nothing stops in two minutes, walk. 20 minutes is shorter than a negotiation. No invented fare.

If you are standing in a remaining cone line, you will not get a tuk, you will get a whistle. Step off.

We walked. A tuk passed us empty and did not stop. Ampitiya at 10:15 on foot. Fine.

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.

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).
