I realize I was wrong about the king coconut in the beginning. I did return to the lady and corrected my wrongs. I was paying 80-100 Rs right down the street for the previous week. That’s why you see my initial reaction the way it was. Regardless of the price I always tip the locals and pay double or three times the price. I apologize for this and take responsibility for being rude about the initial price ❤️🇱🇰❤️
Please see above vedios brother , You can learn so many things from this gentlemen how to treat innocent people in Sri Lanka. You are always bargaining street vendors and givin bad ideas to the whole world for a cents. And worst thing is you are bargaining to the actual local prices. As I local persons we are not bargaining this much. We are very disapointing your that kind of work, As a beginer please learn from other traveling youtubers what they doing for this beloved lovely Island. Thank you, cheers bro.

Cried watching this vlog. They may be poor but they have big hearts. That women in the shop and the Grandpa was so happy to invite a foreign national in to their house without expecting any rewards and served tea. It's such a human moment. The kindness she and her father showed was incredible.
Normally a king coconut costs around Rs.150 in Sri Lanka. And we never call an elder person and any female as " Machan " except same age range guys. BTW interesting video mate.keep vlogging ❤🔥😊👍
@@native_ty Machan is kind of slang which used between same age guys. here are some words How are you= "Kohomada" Fine = Hoday Delicious = "rasay" Hello= "Ayubowan" [Wish you a long life]
Amazing videos. Your down to earth and friendly attitude with locals, genuine appreciations, full of good vibes and great spirits will take you a long way dude. Best of Luck!
Its usually priced around 150 rupees for even locals here in Sri lanka. I think she agreed to 100 rupees because you are a foreigner and being humble to their visitors. mate ❤
Glad you like the hospitality of Sri Lankans 🇱🇰 I’m personally glad to see Americans 🇺🇸 like you YouTubing and promoting our Sri Lanka 🇱🇰 since USA 🇺🇸 is my second home and brings much more pleasure to see tourists and specialty Americans visiting our Island 🏝 nation
Thanks for visiting our country.We always expect kind hearted tourists as you to promote our country among a rough time like this.We appreciate you from the bottom of our heart❤😊

200LKR is not outrageous at all 😂😂 help the locals on your stay mate. Dont bargain hard with em. You can see how they struggle to make a life.. 😢 Also appreciate your tipping to the locals. Enjoy machan 🇱🇰🙏🏼
No mchan. It depend on the area.some areas dont have kinv coconuts. In those areas it could be 150 or 200. Its not expensive. Reasonable. Local price. Dont bargain from sole vendors in road side they're innocent.even we dont bargains from them. Some time they will say adding 50ruppees like 20cents to to a foreigner.
And local vendors reduce their prices without even thinking cause they trying to serve foreigners well because they wants to help countries economy. Sometime they dont think about their own profit.❤
Old times it was like 60 now the local price is fair deal 150 and the price depends on the size the location in some tourist destination those costs much as 300 and in a fancy 5 star hotel 1800
you are a great utuber.you are doing your utube Channel in a well organized manner .we welcome you warmly to Sri Lanka.There are so many places you to visit in Sri Lanka such as Sigiriya, Sinharaja,Kandy,Anuradhapura ,Polonnaruwa,Galle.Trincomale etc.Good Luck.Stay in Sri Lanka happily .
King coconut prices may vary from 100 to 250LKR, it depends on the size and the location. It wasn't a tourist scam. Don't say "Machan" to elderly as many commenters have commented. Machan=dude. Also we don't use "Machan" to address women. There are some rare instances where we use "Machan" to address women, but better not address like that. Address elderly as uncle and aunty or don't say anything.
So you had a coconut in india last month and it costs you Rs 50 and right away u said it sounds like a good price and in Sri lanka 200 is an outrageous price for you!! So indian rupees 50 is around 203 rupees in Sri lanka.. 🤷♂️🤷♂️FYI
Welcome to Sri Lanka 😍. You will get some ideas and places to visit Sri Lanka from my channel too 🥰 Normaly like that price bro even for locals . Don't hesitate. We normally don't say machan to elders in Sri Lanka.🥰 Enjoy Sri Lanka

The prices of king coconut varies depending on the location.becouse don't think about it please..any way I think ..you very love to sri lanka and sri lankan hospitality ....🥺💐❤️❤️come again
In some areas coconuts are not grown and have to be brought from outside to sell and a price is added for transportation and the price varies during the dry season. However, the crafty RUclipsr managed to create a few-minute video talking about the poor trader's honesty.
Hi sir you are so honest injoy my country side Same time you are and helpful I am live in Luxembourg I miss so mouch my homeland Take care Economic very bad situation last in Sri Lanka that why little bit people get hard life things are so expensive.
Sir you are doing good that’s why god give back amazing situation and kind people it’s not your talent it’s god put your heart kindness peacefully so thanks to god May god bless you amen
Hey brother ,do not get me wrong or upset .I am living in Canada over 20yrs and lived in europe over 10 yrs .I traveled many countries .No one barging over food and drink .we can bargain for clothes ,furniture like stuff but not food or drink .Rs 200 is not high price .she might sell 20 coconuts for and make rs200/300.they bring coconuts from other province some time n cost lots of money for transport .if you feel over charge just work away and get from someone else dont barging .you are nice gye .enjoy
Here lies the crux of the issue at hand. The influx of budget-conscious travelers flocking to Sri Lanka has resulted in an unfavorable situation where the true value of a king coconut is undermined, with prices hovering around a mere 150 rupees. Consider this, if you were to visit a location in the UK or the US, regardless of your origin, how much would you expect to pay for a refreshing glass of juice or a cup of coffee?
Sure a coffee in the US can be $4-5. But that’s not the point. It’s the principle at hand. The previous week you get a King Coconut every day for 80-100 Rs. Everytime you tip the local vendor double because of how great the price is. The owner of your guest house recommends you to go to this new vendor and get a king coconut for 100Rs. You go and she charges you double, of course you will be a little thrown off. Regardless of the situation I still gave her the 200 Rs. I know the economic situation in Sri Lanka and I’m happy to spend my budget backpack vacation money here. I’ve had a great time meeting locals. Some who even make me dinner without expecting anything in return. RUclipsrs don’t record everything as it may seem. I hope you understand my friend. Cheers and thanks for watching 🙏🏻🇱🇰🙏🏻
Bro king coconut price differs area to area in this country. Someparts you find it easily and could be cheap as 80-120, meanwhile some areas will cost you aroud 150-200 beacuse they add trasport and etc on top of it. Still be happy no one charge you 350rs which happened to even though im a local.
In srilanka , king coconut price is proximately 200. But some sellers buying it very far from the shop.It's a bit of a difficult process so 200 is reasonable price.❤❤❤❤🥰🥰🥰👊👊👊good luck and enjoy your life ❤❤❤
Native Ty. Pls promote Sri Lanka to yr friends in the States. As u know, SL has been through a very rough time, financially. U cud see for yourself, the beauty of the country n the hospitality of the ordinary ppl. No where in the world wud u be invited to one's home, when one does not know a person. The ppl of SL r very friendly n trusting. From the 🇬🇧
You being a foreigner the woman and her father brought the price down from 200 Rupees to 100 at your request just to be courteous probably selling at a loss? One US Dollar is about Sri Lanka Rs. 300-350 that fluctuates daily according to foreign markets. So you got a natural HEALTHY tasty undiluted drink drink straight from the tree for less than a Dollar. Did you know that Sri Lanka used unripe king coconut water as normal Saline to hydrate dehydrated patients in IVs at one time many years ago for those who could not take fluids orally because it contained such qualities ( like electrolytes)?
100 was ages ago, now the price is 200 plus and out-side Colombo it is a little less than 200. If you dont want to buy just go away, please not to hurt the small business.
@@haztha999 never bargained, I was confused about the pricing being the previous days I pay 100! Anyways I got it wrong ! 200 is a great price compared to US
@@native_ty simply just like we travel across a county or a state. Prices differ in the areas of the country, there is no such fixed retail price defined for these food items. If the price is not right, we don't buy it.
@native_ty Don’t be cheap. 200 is not much at all… less than 10 cents. Can’t stand it when Western Tourists come to SriLanka and think you can lord it over locals with your dollar power. If you feel this way, stay in the US and try and bargain there! Educate yourself on local mores and customs before coming! Just a word of advice to you. Cheers!
You are right bro! 200 is not much and I shouldn’t complain about such a little price Especially the location of Sri Lanka is beautiful. Eating a coconut on this island is priceless
Dear bro.. we welcome you to the country... that's great.. However, Please don't bargain too much from those kinds of vendors.. because they are very innocent people.. Actually they can't do anything from your 100/-RS.. due to the Economy crisis in the country.. country... please be a bit Generous bro.. it's a blessing for you!! Thank you..
Hi there, I believe you might be negotiating a bit excessively, my friend. Rs200 a king coconut doesn't seem unreasonable in all. Additionally, since you asked for a sample, he had to freshly slice a new melon. Vast majority of those folks are both kind-hearted and genuine
Don't say Machan, it is rude to say it to an old person. Machan is brother in law and young people use it among their peers but no t among elders. Mama (pronounced marma) towards older males and nandaa to females. Thanks for visiting Sri Lanka and helping the poor people. Enjoy your stay.

You are completely right bro, I got that one wrong! Made a mistake on my end but I grew from this and now I know better ❤️
I think Srilanka culture is using right hand when they give something or greeting each other
Here lies the crux of the issue at hand. The influx of budget-conscious travelers flocking to Sri Lanka has resulted in an unfavorable situation where the true value of a king coconut is undermined, with prices hovering around a mere 150 rupees. Consider this, if you were to visit a location in the UK or the US, regardless of your origin, how much would you expect to pay for a refreshing glass of juice or a cup of coffee?
Sure a coffee in the US can be $4-5. But that’s not the point.
It’s the principle at hand. The previous week you get a King Coconut every day for 80-100 Rs. Everytime you tip the local vendor double because of how great the price is.
The owner of your guest house recommends you to go to this new vendor and get a king coconut for 100Rs.
You go and she charges you double, of course you will be a little thrown off.
Regardless of the situation I still gave her the 200 Rs. I know the economic situation in Sri Lanka and I’m happy to spend my budget backpack vacation money here.
I’ve had a great time meeting locals. Some who even make me dinner without expecting anything in return. RUclipsrs don’t record everything as it may seem.
I hope you understand my friend.
Cheers and thanks for watching 🙏🏻🇱🇰🙏🏻
You are trying to pay us dollar (30 cents) 😂 for the coconut , that's an outrage 😅

I’m from America, thank you my friend. Sri Lanka is amazing 🇱🇰
100 was ages ago, now the price is 200 plus and out-side Colombo it is a little less than 200. If you dont want to buy just go away, please not to hurt the small business.
I gave 200 brother !
Saying you gave 200 doesnt matter. Because you bargain in the first place 🤢
@@haztha999 never bargained, I was confused about the pricing being the previous days I pay 100! Anyways I got it wrong ! 200 is a great price compared to US
@@native_ty simply just like we travel across a county or a state. Prices differ in the areas of the country, there is no such fixed retail price defined for these food items. If the price is not right, we don't buy it.
This guy couldn't stop saying thank you
I couldn’t believe the Sri Lankan hospitality was actually happening in front of my own eyes.
Thank you to all the Sri Lankans for showing me❤️
Wow thay are honestly ❤❤

You are unfair by offering 100 Rs for king coconut. As a local I have pay 250 Rs (in different location different time).
I realized that, sorry bro 🙏🏻❤️
You are such lovely guy, Sri lankan will falling love with you.
I love Sri Lanka 🇱🇰❤️

She is kind
Welcome to the beautiful country

@native_ty
Don’t be cheap. 200 is not much at all… less than 10 cents.
Can’t stand it when Western Tourists come to SriLanka and think you can lord it over locals with your dollar power. If you feel this way, stay in the US and try and bargain there!
Educate yourself on local mores and customs before coming! Just a word of advice to you.
Cheers!
You are right bro! 200 is not much and I shouldn’t complain about such a little price
Especially the location of Sri Lanka is beautiful.
Eating a coconut on this island is priceless
Dear bro.. we welcome you to the country... that's great.. However, Please don't bargain too much from those kinds of vendors.. because they are very innocent people.. Actually they can't do anything from your 100/-RS.. due to the Economy crisis in the country.. country... please be a bit Generous bro.. it's a blessing for you!! Thank you..
I will ! Thank you for the advice brother
@@native_ty Thank you so much..🙏❤️
Most comments are day bargain.don't say again
@@lahiru-madushan Come on, I didn't say anything wrong to him.. I humbly explained to him the situation & politely asked something that's all...
Sri Lankans do not like to bargain. Majority will tell you the correct price. Even they tell you a high price it is slightly higher.
Bro u are amazing ❤ thanks for visiting sri lanka
So nice of you🙏🏻
Bro come to Horana i can see you beautiful places
Very soon!
That was perfect king coconut though ❤😊
It was delicious!
Thank you for coming my country
Thank you for your kindness
I appreciate you bro ❤❤❤
Thanks my friend 😎
Hi there, I believe you might be negotiating a bit excessively, my friend. Rs200 a king coconut doesn't seem unreasonable in all. Additionally, since you asked for a sample, he had to freshly slice a new melon. Vast majority of those folks are both kind-hearted and genuine
Thanks for letting me know 🙏🏻
Nice video
Very nice of you
Elder people in srilanka don't appreciated calling them MATCHAN. but IEY.
Thank you for letting me know!😎
Elder ladies call them akkey.
My friend Rs 150-200 is the normal price for a coco now.she is not scamming you at all. 80-100 is rare. we got that rate in 2019
Thank you for letting me know! I had a feeling something was wrong with my price figure haha
❤❤අයියෝ බීම බට ටිකක් වත් ගෙනත් තියන්න පව් ඇගේ බේරෙනව
Don't say Machan, it is rude to say it to an old person. Machan is brother in law and young people use it among their peers but no t among elders. Mama (pronounced marma) towards older males and nandaa to females. Thanks for visiting Sri Lanka and helping the poor people. Enjoy your stay.
You arguing about 20 cents for a coconut is kinda disrepectful bro. You won't have this quality and pay 10 times this price in the US.
Very good point bro
Thanks for checking me 🙏🏻
Welcome to beautiful sri lanka
Thank you my friend 🇱🇰😎
Dont say "Machan" for elder people ..brother ..❤
Thank you for informing me 🙏🏻
Oh my god.𝗣𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲𝘀🧠
Rs. 200 Is not expensive. As a locals we buy the these coconuts for Rs. 180 .I think yours are very poor than them 😁Anyway enjoy
😢🥹 why do some locals give it to me for 100Rs
@@native_ty sir it depend on the one area to another area.Also With diatance,variety , their livelihood or income ways. Don't worry about my word..enjoy and love you as a Sri Lankan sir..thank you for comming my country..Well appreciate
