Mosquitoes carrying Dengue in Galle, how to protect yourself.
1 Answer from travellers
Dengue fever is a persistent risk throughout Sri Lanka, particularly during and immediately after the monsoon rains when stagnant water pools everywhere. You absolutely must be diligent about applying strong mosquito repellent containing DEET every single morning and evening. Always sleep under a mosquito net or in an air conditioned room to stay completely safe.

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.
