Hi Chris,I’m in Colombo today..just saw those 2 guys following you around,after awhile I said to him ,I saw him on UA-cam,he ran away…😮
Welcome to Sri Lanka and have a safe journey !
Hey Chris , I’m a Sri Lankan living in LA, awesome videos. Enjoy your time. I’m sure you will enjoy Sri Lankan hospitality we are known for. The videos will help promote SL at a time like this. Cheers 🍻
@dimti74 i m planning to migrate USA , can u tell me how u find jobs there ? is there any website like Topjob site in USA too ??
Love the way you called out that guy for his dishonesty. I am retired, and your vlogs keep me amused, so just keep them coming 😎😍
Yes definitely, I hate dishonest people. So glad you enjoy the videos!
@@Travelwithchris me chuuu
@@Travelwithchris ❤
Yeah I agree, I have Sri Lankan girlfriend she told me that guy you wanted the NY hat from was cursing you for messing up his display,made me smile.Going Marrakech soon, love the Moroccan adventures, all the best from UK
Thanks!
when you travel i feel like im traveling with you, but also ideas go to these places...i work for an air Line!
Thank you 🙏🏻
I love his ability to be calm and respectful even when people trying to rob him blindly
the roads in Colombo, Sri Lanka look so clean. India has much to learn from her neighbour
As an Indian, I wholeheartedly agree
All the credits goes to labours who cleaning the roads❤❤..because of them the roads are so clean..
@@Sudaramihiranga889 Yes
Indians have no intention of keeping public places clean
Don't visit cities then go to good places.
Go to Himachal, uttarakhand, North east , Kashmir , ladakh etc.
Always love your positivity Chris keep up the good work!!!
Thanks a lot Jesse! Means a lot! 🙏🏻💪🏻

Thanks so much for the kind words!
Great video and amazing place I love the humor and the bargaining, watching from South Africa
You’re such a great guy Chris ! ❤
Thank you so much 🙏🏻❤️
I randomly started watching your videos and i have to say i am enjoying it to the core. Thank you so much for your great videos, please keep them coming. Your a fantastic person entertainer with a good heart! 😊
Street market. My favorite type of video. Plus you got a NY Yankees hat. I’m a diehard Yankees fan. Great video as always Chris.
Yes bro! My favorite also! To bad UA-cam don't like them, they deleted my top two videos. 😂 ayyy I like the Yankees also!
Ok. I subscribed because you stood your ground on the size. Just like I do. Been binging content. Living my dream
I love u wearing the El Salvador shirt @ Shri Lanka...Representing! Big Hug Chris! You are a beautiful soul!
Thanks a lot bro, that is my favorite tank top! I need to go back to get more!
I love how you keep it light, positive, and entertaining. I laughed so much. But
love the content.
Brother I don’t know how you’re being so patient😂 At Ben Thanh Market in HCM, I got so pissed at one of the stall owners like it could’ve been an all out brawl😂😂 Thankfully I held back and let him and her do all the cursing. But I love your videos man keep it coming
Oh man trust me, it takes a lot of patience. I want to go off so badly, 90% of the time
Great content as always. I enjoyed watching it and loved it. Keep up the good work. Thanks Chris. 👍👍👍😍😍😍
Thanks a lot Sharon!
Huge respect for you to the way you talked to the tuk tuk driver and hotel staff !!
Thank you so much 🙏🏻❤️
Really like the shopping strategy! Man you are awesome! Keep it going!
Please be cautious when visiting shops on Colombo Street as some may attempt to raise prices. It is advisable to engage in bargaining and negotiate for a fair price. This practice is common among locals as well. It is important to be aware that there are a number of scammers in Colombo, so exercising caution is crucial. It is generally recommended not to place complete trust in tuk-tuk drivers. If you venture outside of Colombo, you will have the opportunity to meet genuine and honest Sri Lankan people who will treat you well. This serves as a helpful tip for foreigners traveling in Sri Lanka, as it is important not to form a negative impression solely based on videos highlighting scams in Colombo.
Thanks so much bro!
Is it a safe country what are wealthier sri lankan like?
when you buy a new camera
get one that can handle 4k😁
I think it's great what you show and also how you stand up for yourself with those people who follow you there on the market😀👍
I definitely will!
Hi Chris, I am from Sri Lanka but I live in Toronto. I watch your videos and I am a big fan of your channel, I appreciate your generosity towards Sri Lankans.
All the best for your channel!
Thanks so much for the support, I hope you continue to enjoy the series!
Tamils are refugees live in Canada You are a Singhala why you live in Canada
Thank you for your kindness. Also thank you very much visit this beautiful country , really good people , good foods & unbelievable places , hope to see more & more videos in sri lanka
Thanks a lot for the support, means a lot!
Happy birthday to Krista🎉🥂to family time. Moms so sweet & your sister is beautiful.
Thank you so much Chris voor Beautiful and lovely video❤❤❤❤
You are so welcome
I already watched HARALD BALDR, BALD BANKRUPT, DALE and BACKPACKER BEN and this is my NEW find. Hooked and already created a playlist for todays munchies hahaha
Thanks a lot for watching! Means a lot bro 🙏🏻
HI! Yes love Chris's video's too he's such a nice guy, I also follow the above and callum abroad...his sidekick Alex is hilarious- check them out.
Just finished your Sri Lankan series right now, very appropriate your nice contents. Hope meet you Colombo area.
Your Sri Lankan vlogs are insane bro!
Keep it up!🎉❤
Thank you so much, means a lot to me!
Great video Chris! Pains me to say as I’ve only just recently bought a brand new Go pro 10 but if you also have a Go pro, it may be worth you investing in a DJI action 3. Which appears to have much better battery life and no overheating issues! Came out just after I bought my Go Pro and I now have buyers regret! May be worth you looking into DJI
That market looks cool! I gotta check it out! 😎
Insane Hassle Tension CRAZY !
But market sellers give hi price. local price are T Shirt LKR 950 to 1400
Hi Chris, Thanks for the informative video. You were too generous and super nice to people who were trying to "take you for a ride". Many want to make lots of profit. G Shock watch was s funny when the young lad retained the box. No guarantee so I assume it was not water proof or shock proof either. Is it still working?🤣🤣 Great interactions with the locals. TIP: NEVER LEND ANY CASH TO ANYONE ON A PROMISE THAT THEY RETURN WITH THE GOODS.....Not only SL anywhere in the World too. Take great care safe travels.
Love the content and your sunny attitude. Safe travels!
Thanks so much ❤️
New Rila Corner man - Hamza was nice bless him, Masha Allah 😊
That cap and shirt you purchased value only around Rs.2500. You will learn it with the experience in Sri Lanka. Good Luck Chris !
No way.... Don't tell like that.. these days every thing is very expensive..
Correct only Rs 2000
Great work Chris,really enjoying your Sri Lankan series.
Thanks so much 🙏🏻
The end has me cryin bro. Homie is a dedicated middle man hahaha.. Let us know how that Sri Lankan bud is 😂
😂😂😂 facts, he wasn't going to stop
Bro I'm literally getting addicted to your vlogs 😊
Thanks a lot bro! So glad you enjoy them!
Count me in too 😂
Biggest theft’s in the world, I was in Colombo as seaman. We stayed at hotel seven people. A little boy was cleaning the rooms he stole our money and gifts. We had to call our embassy to represent us at the court,
that first market you went,they removed the price tags secretary before you see
Yes, the first store guy was so bad and fraud 👹
Did not like him. You should have not to buy from him. I was thinking you were going to walk out:(
Don't buy anything like that guy who is greedy and dishonest people. Buy a difference, people. 😮
😂😂😂 crazy
Awesome video Chris thanks for representing California bro blessings 🙏🏻
Come to Mauritius
Thanks so much bro 🙏🏻
Hi Chris,
Try to visit upcountry areas like Elle, Bandarawela you can feel different cool climate there. other areas little bit hot nowadays & If possible take a train ride to Elle from colombo it will be a great expirience for u.
Yes definitely, just kicked off the tour in Colombo! So many great videos on the way!
Love your vids Chris, definitely have to catch local transport to experience the real thing.
In Thailand I always travel on train (in the back carriages) thai style, it's an awesome way to experience the country and real thai people.
Alot of the real stuff is made in Sri Lanka like the hats and shirts..They Sphyon off first copies of Nike Polo Tommy and hats ..Actually really good quality as it's from the existing sweatshops
Chris you change your mind all the time ! No cap then cap. I don’t like Reebok oh I like Reebok.
You’re very soft with them too 😂
17:00 The salesman acted as a honest guy & smoothly he increased the price 😢 You can buy these 2 for under Rs.3500
14:47 He was also asking other guy to remove the price tag without being noticed.
@@indunilramadasa2974 yes Its Really bad thing 🤐
Chris cracks me up!
3:28 That’s not the President’s house, it’s Presidential Secretariat, President’s house is near by the clock tower of Colombo
Thank you for clearing that up!
Hi Chris, I am really enjoying your video in Columbo. Thanks for sharing! Take good care!
Thanks a lot Chinda!
Keep up the great content Bro Chris 😊
Appreciate you bro!
Nice work Chris ❤
Hey Chris thank you for the tour you know what I mean it feels like I’m travelling when I see your videos God Bless. Next Destination?
Thanks a lot Thomas! Means a lot bro! Up next India then Hong Kong! 🔥🫡
@@Travelwithchris hong kong would be great 😃
Always look forward to your videos Chrisman!
Ahahah thanks a lot brother!
16:40 Chris I suggest you to walk off next time they’re not going to keep up charging us and give the locals local price just because we’re foreigners they think we’re rich I hate this happened to you I hope you stand your ground next time anyways fire as video look forward to the next one 🔥
😂 yes that's what I would've done if I wasn't filming and genuinely needed the items. Remember its all an investment, making these videos is my job. 🙏🏻 thanks for the support!
@@Travelwithchris yeah you’re right I jst seen it from a consumer pov not a creator pov keep killing it hope yo see Gladys back in the videos soon!
@@Travelwithchris hahaha you really needed that fake Gucci/LV belt made in Spain 😂😂. Supporting the black market industry. Come on dude 😂. Good to see you stand up to all the scammers and the stalkers. I wouldnt even go in there cuz theyre too much. Thanks for living and creating content. 🥰
What a great video wish i was there with you that day so exciting!
I'd bring along one of those mister fans to cool you off
Thanks so much Gina! I appreciate the support
Dude, .20 for a bus ride? You gotta pay at least 10x that for a bus that never shows up in the states. lol
Great video, got my wanderlust going in overdrive.
😂😂😂 facts bro , public transportation in the states is 💩
awesome vid as always
Thanks for the visit!
You are always the first customer in every shop 😂😂 also, i thought they will charge you for the FAN as well 🤣
😂😂. Facts, everyone uses the same sell tactic in every market around the world lol
Chris, you need a DJI action 4 it doesnt overheat and is better than a go pro :)
It's a cricket😅🏏 jersey not football chris lol😂,loving every episode so far,sending love from🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲
😂😂😂 damn bro how you know that all the way in Jamaica, I've never seen a game of cricket once 😂😭
@@Travelwithchris West Indies used to rule World Cricket, And most players for the Windies came from Jamaica, Cricket is super popular in the Caribbean

Yeee blaze it lol 🔥💨tomorrow is 420 i can't wait. Loved the video, the dude in the white kept following you around hecka creepy but yeah a whole lot different out there then Cali. Look 4ward to many more videos 💯✌️🌴🔥💨💨
that guy in the white shirt just kept following you in the background, even outside!! 😂😂 very weird hahaha
Ahahha dmag I just noticed that!
I came here to say that! So strange!
@@hayleykhan896, He is just a tout just like the other two. They pretend to be the shop owner hike up the price & get their cut. That's why he was following.
I commented on your previous video. Just check it out. Thanks for your exposure on Srilanka. We really need this.
Thank you so much, glad you enjoy the videos
Hey Chris, great videos as always! I think you scared one the merchant's business with your optimism.😅
Thanks so much, yeah he was an A-hole
Chris, be aware about the sky rocketed prices for foreigners in crowded markets in Colombo also always be aware about ur shoulder bag from pick pocketeers.. always keep ur shoulder bag hanging on front of ur chest.. Sri Lanka is very similar to Viet Nam in crowded markets ..
Bro It's not always hot, it's hot these days only, even locals are suprised with the temparature these days.
Dang really? Well I was melting the whole time 😂
@@Travelwithchris yeah it s normally the temparature in sri lanka is normal.but Im sorry to say these days its too hot even locals canot handle it, news says to be careful in the heat these days.
Now on you are my favourite youtuber 😎♥️
The guy in the first shop just told the other guy in the white shirt to remove the original price tag…it is really disappointing to see how these people overcharge tourists
Yes very disappointing. That's why they will always work those 💩 jobs 💪🏻
@@Travelwithchris the first two guys you bought from didn't seems like the owner but brokers who hover around cuz they can speak a bit of english.. they quote you a higher price and then get their commissions .. the shop you bought the shades and belt you dealt with the owner it self by the looks of it..
Nice video 👍. Long video and the contain was amazing ❤❤
Thanks a lot 🙏🏻
What your name Chris man,no just Chris lol😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣how many shop those two guys have😂🤣🤣😂🤣😂😂😂🤣🤣😂😂😂🤣🤣😂😂
😂😂😂 facts bro
Ahh the calculator, my favorite.!!! Awesome 😂😂😂
The student that helped with the bus at the end of the video seems like he'll be a great tour guide!
Yes he was awesome!
Do you know if they do Dragon Ball Z beach towels in Sri Lanka? Should I get one or should I wait to go to Sri Lanka to buy one?
I'm soo angry with the sellers as a Sri Lankan actually . Apologize for the discomfort .
You need wet cold towels from frozen freezer take with you from hotels if they have refrigerator in your room ! Put in a zip lock bags , and battery charge fan with you when you go hot places like that !
Yes definitely a great idea! I will start carrying towels!
Damn those market guys were pushy as hell! Please check country laws regarding smoke. If zero tolerance, I wouldn’t risk. BUT if u do and need bail money, hit me up!!😂😂
Ahahah it was definitely 0 tolerance! I didn't buy any bro, I don't mess around. I'm not a lezzzbian basketball player, they ain't trading me for anyone 💯😂
@@Travelwithchris 😂 😂 😂. Classic!
@@Travelwithchris 🏀😂🤣😂🤣
why is there SWASTIKA on the watch shopping bag and their banner with Bob Marley? that's crazy!!! 39:26
Its not a swastika , its a symbol of peace in the Hindu religion, its just Hitler stole that shape and used it as a symbol of hate, but in this part of the world its been used a symbol of peace in their religion for over 1,000s of years
Beware of scammers everywhere...bro🙋🙋
Facts 🙌🏻🙏🏻
I’m sweating watching this video LOL! Nice work 👍
Glad you enjoyed it! Yeah it was crazy hot!
I hate the cap guy so much. He told the other dude to remove the price tag before giving it to you. These people will never prosper in life. They'll have to keep doing the same shitty jobs for the rest of their lives . Anyways good video Chris. Hope you enjoy Sri Lanka
Exactly my thoughts, that's why they will always have nothing. Bad people live bad lives 💪🏻🫡
whats the time stamp that he said that ?
@@Kaile1789 14:49
He says, " Remove the price tag on the sly"
Yeah took instant dislike to that guy. Scamming 💩
The GoPro ur using is perfect small and easy to travel with. Just invest in one or two more GoPro’s so you have extra and ur problem is solved

Thank you so much! Lets hope we reach that milestone!
Hey Chris
Don’t ever go to pettah world market,even we Sri Lankans don’t go there, they always over charge you.
Thanks for the advice!
Dude what? that's where I go to get the cheapest stuff in Colombo. You just gotta haggle real good
Not if you hav maxed out your bargaining skills
Naahhh the fact is even branded malls got low prices than colomobo market😅
14:01 He just removed the price tag on the cap if you have noticed
Dude! Rs. 5000/- is way too much for the cap and the t-shirt! Rs. 2000/- would have been a good deal.
Anyway don’t hesitate to say NO! next time. ✌🏾 Hope you have a beautiful time here in Sri Lanka ❤️
We love your vlogs! Cheers 🥂
Yes definitely way too expensive! Thanks for the support bro
@@Travelwithchris Asian street markets you got to bargain Chris
What a rip off. Them 2 items not worth more than 2000 rupees
What is the name of the market that you went to, mate? I am visiting sri lanka in november and just stumbled upon this video. Great video. Cheers
Sri Lankan man : I do honest price for you
Chris : oh no no spices
😂😂😂
😂😂😂
Scammers wudnt pay more than 10 dollars for the tshirt and cap tbh.
Travelwithcris is such a patient and honest globe trotter - attaboy - I subscribed. ['California Blue' by Roy Orbison is one of my favorites - hope you love it, too.]
I dont like colombo chris. Because of lots of scammers. The petta market is the kindom of scammers. Explore village sides. Nice calm people.
I definitely like Colombo! I respect the hustle, happens everywhere in the world. I will be exploring plenty of villages, just wait for the videos after Colombo! So many great ones on the way!
Hey buddy.. so I'm thinking of traveling to Thailand next year.. any recommendations on where to stay and where to go? My first time.
Less than $16 for your T and hat doesn’t seem bad to me Chris. 😂
Yeah but it definitely was, I found out later that it should've been like $7 lmao but its all good fun
Definitely cheap comparing with US dollar but no way that’s “local” price haha
Dude just like your overall plans and videos its informative.
Thanks so much 🙏🏻
Did you ever go back and try the “Sri Lanka green”? Should of got that THUG LIFE hat and bought it back to the LBC 😂
No bro I never went back for that. In Sri Lanka they got a death penalty for that. It's probably trash too. I'll wait for Cali 🔥 yes that thuglife hat would've been comedy bro
Great content! Keep it up!
නෙද්දකින් මේ රට හදන්න හම්බෙන් නෑ මේ වගේ බල්ලො ඉන්නකම් කැප් එකක් 2500යි ලු 😂😂😂

Thanks for watching!
Siraa katha 😂😂
Aside from America, what country has had the best weed from your experience? Or from a friends experience I suppose?
Wow why do they always try and scam tourist I would of just walked if they can’t have respect don’t help them
Facts, its because they think we're dumb lol bet they thought I was, but remember I participate because I do this for entertainment. I would've never paid that off camera 😂
@@Travelwithchris I get that just hate the disrespect some people seem to have but yeah keep up the good work man 👍
@@NNC93 its not only tourists bro.. They are scamming local too. You this guy pay 3000 for 1500. Local pay 1500 but real price might be 750. So both locals and tourists have got scammed
These days everything is very expensive in Sri Lanka 🇱🇰 that's because of the situation..❤but people manage to do everything ❤
