The main scam is the Hello my friend the market is closed for a holiday line. Ignore it. The market is almost always open. Walk directly from the station.

Keep your phone and wallet in your front pocket because Pettah is very crowded and easy for pickpockets.

Only use tuktuks with a visible Meter sign or use the PickMe app to avoid the haggling headache.

The vendors on the side streets sell the best fruit just wash it well before eating.
