✓Accepted Answer

Do not buy from the tourist spice gardens on the highway. Go to the central municipal market in Kandy town. You will find local vendors selling fresh, high quality spices by weight at normal local prices.

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).
