Gem Museum Commission Scam
1/11/202628 people have confirmed this
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.
How to avoid it
Research reputable gem dealers before arrival. Decline all driver suggestions. Visit the National Gem and Jewellery Authority for certified sellers.
