Come back srilanka 🇱🇰 ❤️❤️💐
Your No Bullshit Guides are awesome please do Phuket as well
💞💞💞💞💞💞
😍🇱🇰
I have traveled around Sri Lanka for 6 months, half of what you said in this guide is NOT TRUE, may be that was your experience.
Most Hotels are listed on Booking dot com so you can get a better deal if you use it.
80% of the hotels i went to got fastest internet 3 - 20 mbps connection even in $5 hostels
Sri Lanka has multiple weather zones, when Colombo is 38 C you can travel 3 hours to Nuwaraeliya and you will be in 10 -20 C Climate
Yes. I was wondering the same 🙄
Lol I'm Sri Lankan ethnically but born in the West so Sri Lanka travel is still foreign to me.
Wow! That was a very informative video... Being a Sri Lankan myself, there was so much I learnt thanks to you guys.. Keep up the good work guys. ❤️❤️👍👍
Thank you 🙏🏼🙏🏼 It was an unforgettable experience 😍🇱🇰
I wish I could travel soon🙏
Amazing Sri Lanka.....
There is no greater beauty or charm than what we can find in your video.....thanks for sharing!!!!!!!!
Huge subs from us....
Thank you for the extremely valuable and helpful information pre-Covid. Most of your advice still remains in valid and as time has gone by, the necessary Covid19 safety regulations need to be added. You guys have done yeoman service for #SriLankaTourism and the time and effort taken to accomplish this video has definitely been immense.
I love these guides they’re soo unbelievably helpful! Jen you look beautiful!!
Thank you and thank you 😃
Thanks for the informative video 👍 subscribed
hay ne tks
For anyone interested,
1st and 2nd class reserved is actually reserved.
As a Sri Lankan I honestly try to get 2nd class reserved for long journeys and 3rd class for short journeys.
You can drink tap water in the most of the areas in Sri Lanka. It's purified and hygiene.
why is this channel not having at least 300k subscribers?! you guys are awesome, literally NO BS guide for traveling. I went to vietnam this year, followed your DO's and DONT's and had zero problems where other backpackers had some and told me the stories. Keep it up guys, you ARE making a difference.
Thank you, means a lot 🙏🏼🙏🏼
The best song in background music when video begins. like your videos 🇱🇰❤️
😍
Good work fellas !! we loved our visit 👍
Could spend months there and still not see it all! 😍🇱🇰
Great video! As a full time traveller for the past 7 years, I often find these types of videos unhelpful and generic; however this was not the case with you guys. You pack a lot of valuable information into each video. I can tell you put many hours of work into making your videos. With so many "fluffy" UA-camrs out there, know that your hard work and professionalism does not go unnoticed. We will definitely be rewatching this video before we visit Sri Lanka in November! Keep up the excellent work :) You deserve every bit of monetization you recieve...
Thank you Lindsay, really means a lot! LOTS more to come...😍
Top 5 vid of phiphiIsland
Guys your series about Sri Lanka is amazing, great job, lots of valuable information about expenses and transportation. I am planning a trip for December and will use your tips! How about SIM cards? Did you buy a local one with data to use maps and booking websites? 😊
We didn't use a SIM card because one of our phones has an international plan and connects seamlessly. You could always just use Wifi 😃
Thanks for visiting Sri Lanka........Hope you enjoyed this beautiful Island......
Loved it 😍Can't wait to head back ❤️🇱🇰
You guys ARE THE BEST- such honesty, such clarity - BRAVO
Thank you 🙏🏼🙏🏼
Thanks. Wow. Great video-informative.
🙏🏼🙏🏼
Thanks for making such a wonderful and informative travel video. I have been following your vlogs in all my traveling as they remained very helpful. Last year, I visited Vietnam and followed all your travel tips in three videos series you made. Keep travelling…. Keep making great videos….. Stay blessed & stay together 👍
Beautiful blog and very lovely couple. Thanks for share with us. It's great blog
Hi Guys, great video, I have a question, when travelling, what do you do to keep your video footage safe? Do you just take good care of the SD cards until you get back home or do you have a ways to back them up while abroad, I send my GoPro footage from my micro SD cards to my GoPro account in the cloud via my iPhone but it takes forever, I just wondered if you know of a better option, many thanks.
I am from Sri Lanka. Hello Does not mean "kohomada" it mean in sinhala "Ayubowan"
anyway i like your video and can't say thank you enough for promoting our country across worldwide.
best of luck you guys
You guys are great. You guys got it covered well. I am from there but left long time ago but knows the place well. Great job. 👏👏
Yes we Sri Lankans stare a lot. We stare for no reason. 😂🥲 Sorry about that. But It's mostly unintentional.
Awesome guys, I am sure finding clean toilets are still big challenge in SL, so be prepared.
Thank you so much for making this video It is super helpful and people deeply appreciate it
Great work on this Travel Guide guys! The video is very informal, well edited and the two of you are a joy to watch. How does this video 'only' has 19k views. Like come on people, few youtubers are as informative as these two. You deserve more views, as well as likes. Love from the Netherlands
Brilliant youtube on kohphiphi
Heck, you guys are the most amazing people traveling.
damn these guides are awesome! Keep em coming!
🙏🏼🙏🏼
Our little paradise island
😍
Thank you for visiting Sri Lanka 🇱🇰 🤝 ❤❤🙏👍
Thanks for this video and content! My sister went to Sri Lanka about 7 years ago when it was even less discovered by tourism.
This definitely makes me want to go. We are very adventurous and ambitious travellers when we get away from our 9-5 but are looking for ways to go on adventurous holidays with a baby. Any advise? Thanks!
The best vid on Phi Phi
You silly guys; had me worried with the initial post taken down. Awesome video, cannot wait to see where you're off to next 👍🤪🥂
Thanks Sean 🙏🏼We're all good now...😃
Thanks for the video! Our trip is next year and we decided to go with a guided tour just to minimize our planning time and we also didn't know what to expect. We normally prefer to travel on our own. Excited to get there soon!
Either way, enjoy your time there! Try to stop by Matey Hut or REA if you get a chance 🤤
Thank you so much for you video’s! :)
GREAT VIDEO!! Very informative 👍🏽👍🏽
🙏🏼🙏🏼
I can’t thank you guys enough for your incredibly helpful content
You're welcome Natalie! Glad we can help you and others 😃
Fantastic! Thank you!
Informative 👌. Good work
🙏🏼🙏🏼
Good video very helpful.. i would like to ask is fb messenger still okey in sri lanka?
ok
Yes it's ok
Great video guys. I'm looking forward to spending a couple months there so this has been useful.
Happy to help! Safe travels!
Great tips, thank you
Great review, guys!
A very good place to visit. I love to go there and take some videos and pictures for my channel. Thank you.
haha intro song though! good choice!!
😉😍🙏🏼
I am heading here in 3 weeks
Thank you so much guys
Your videos are sick!!! Really well made , informative and cinematic stuff mixed in. Perfect travel Vid channel. U should get some.sponsorship
Indeed, this was very good information on Sri Lanka. I've been there twice (1994 + 2019) and loved it. Good travels and may God protect you.
Great travel guide. I did learn quite a few things even though I am Sri lankan born and raised - now living in USA.. Thanks much.
This is the best travel video for SL that we have ever seen! We travelled there in 2015 and are itching to go back of things EVER calm down again... Love your style, the comments on the trains cracked us up 😂😂 Totally true! Will be watching more of your channel!
I just landed in SL and got my visa on the spot for 30 bucks. Then got a four month extension at the immigration office for $100. I'm told they are abolishing this fee for Americans. We'll see. This is SL. :)
Guys, I've been living in Kandy for four months. Since the terrorist attacks. Everything has been DEAD. I pay $230 for a two bedroom house in the hills in the hills including internet. I have used none of your apps.
Couch-surfing sucks here, but people I met through CS at least gave me tips and information to find my house. Trains are cheap. So are buses, but some can be terribly uncomfortable.
My five month visa is running out so I'm going to Vietnam and Cambodia. I liked your food tour video with Vu so I contacted him. Couch-surfing seems to be better in Vietnam.
Sri Lanka even before the terrorist attacks was at the bottom of the list in number of tourists coming which is weird considering how much Sri Lanka has to offer. Even little Maldives beat SL this year.
I even got a private tour in Colombo of Arthur C. Clarke's house. The great scifi writer who lived here.
I'm not really a tourist.
But Adam's Peak has been the highlight of my trip here so far. No crowds. DEAD because of the troubles here. Going to the Buddhist cities next week and Jaffna.
Lot's of scams in SL and it start's with the government. I have seen the good and the bad in SL. I live here. Trust me there's a lot of problems here, but the people for the most part are okay.

Great video! My wife & I are going to Sri Lanka next week and your advice has definitely helped us curb the “fear of the unknown” aspect from our minds. Your video was jam backed with really great tips and has given us lots of ideas that we’d not even considered. Thank you and keep up the great content 🇱🇰♥️
love your channel. excellent information, charmingly delivered.
Great advice.
I am Sri Lankans. I feel sad and sympathetic towards tourists when they try to protect themselves from some of the scammers. I apologize for any inconvenience during your visit to Sri Lanka
Nice, long and informative video but at the end you finished it with "wait for the next country, it is going to be a good one". Feels like you did not like it there very much. There are many more things you could mention positive, which you clearly missed. Thanks for visiting anyway guys.
Thank you for visiting and posting a video regarding our country 💐❤️
Don't use pick me use "cangaroo cabs " it's cheap prices for transportation
Great guide. Would have liked to see some info on phone coverage and SIM options.
You guys are awesome! Thanks so much for the tips and info!
Hi Jen,I noticed you mentioned doing a run training in Sri Lanka.Do you have any upcoming race?

Mesmo com meu ingles pessimo eu Só não consigui entender como não tem 45 milhões de inscritos neste canal...🤔🤔🤔🤔

Absolutely the most useful info for foreign visitors as well as Sri Lankan expats visiting Sri Lanka.
🙏🏼🙏🏼Glad we could help!
As always, packed with useful information and really tightly edited. Thank you.
🙏🏼🙏🏼
Great video guys, very informative. Went to Sri Lanka earlier this year and traveled the South and West coasts, loved the people, food and local transport to get around. Planning our next visit to checkout the east coast next June. Happy traveling.
Thanks Rodney! Loved our time there as well!
Well documented and narrated. I am a Sri Lankan living in the USA. enjoyed your honesty of your experience. It is indeed a beautiful Island. pitty you didn't get to visit the North or speak about the diversity of the ocean - I also have viewed your no BS guide to Vietnam as that is my next travel destiny
Thank you! We actually had a piece about the diversity of the ocean but cut it down due to the video being pretty extensive...
Thank you for this video! Extremely informative and entertaining. Visiting in May and will use a lot of these tips👍🏼
😍Glad we could help!
Great video guys. I’m going to Sri Lanka in December and this has been a big help. Do you have any specific tips for someone travelling alone?
Eat everything and talk to everyone. You'll discover a lot and meet great people! Oh yeah, and have a Lion stout (or 10)...🍻
Once again, brilliant information. Been there twice in last one year and everything is absolutely right on; to the point and solid information. Keep up the great work you two are doing. It is a huge huge thing for most who would travel ahead to this marvellous country.
Thank you 🙏🏼🙏🏼 Glad we could help!
your videos are always so brilliant! absolutely love love your guidance.
Thanks Maitrayi 🙏🏼🙏🏼
Thanks for your video. I am a Sri Lankan and my country is really very beautiful.
😍🇱🇰
Great video. Thanks for including all the details, these are the things that really help potential visitors!
🙏🏼🙏🏼
Fantastic video - very informative! Thank you
Thanks for checking us out and glad we could help!
Welcome to Sri Lanka ❤️🇱🇰❤️

Your videos are one of the best on UA-cam (great content, beautiful scenery, great editing and dope music)! LOVE these no BS guides.
Thank you 🙏🏼 LOTS more to come 😍
Wow

Enjoy your travels and stay healthy and safe always!
Thanks Fernando! Great stuff to come...😍
Thanks for visiting 🇱🇰🙏
Had an amazing time! Wish we were back on those beaches right about now...😍🇱🇰
Good video
Thanks for sharing. 👍😍
😍🙏🏼💪🏼
Sri Lanka is one of the top 5 countries I wanna visit! Was planning for this winter but, with the recent anti-muslim unrest, I may wait awhile as I do wear a head scarf and don't want to end up in a risky situation. Thanks for yet another incredible video!
Trust me there is no any kind of discrimination against Muslims in Sri Lanka as some Western media portrait! The country has banned full face coverings like burqa for security purposes and it has nothing to do with discrimination of Muslims.if you are wearing a head scarf and it does not cover your entire face,you will have no problem at all!
Burqa is banned in the country and hijab is accepted.
I like how Jen's face light up when they talk about the peanuts
🤤
Memorable youtube on phiphiDon
Is there any way to survive in sri lanka for someone allergic to curry? Thanks
Yes. We have an epidemic of MikiDs, Pizza hut and other fast food joints.
Other independent restaurants also offer Euro, Chinese, Japanese and other styles of food at various price points.
@@chamindadecosta3970 thank you for your answer :)
Fantastic video of Phi Phi Don
Great video!
Thank you Marina!
Nice vlog
🙏🏼🙏🏼
Tks for info
Always! LOTS more to come...
