What the door says in Sri Lanka

  • Toilet
  • වැසිකිළි

Local practice in Sri Lanka

  • Local councils can charge for public toilets: Tissamaharama publishes tariffs for facilities including Kirinda and Pannegamuwa. Check the current entrance price.
  • Toilet use and bathing are separate services in the council’s tariff. Ask which charge applies rather than assuming a bathroom price covers both.

These notes describe general local practice. Fees, hours and entry rules vary by venue; check the listing and any signs when you arrive.
