I've just finished reading this article from an online news site and wanted to post this for any people planing a visit.

The coconut vendors putting their carry poles on tourists shoulders is a rort.
And it looks so innocent and friendly.

Any expats having friends or family coming to visit ought forward this link.

Yeah that seems about right. You just have to hold your ground. Make sure your friends or family are with you most of the time so they can understand the norm. I see tourists fall for these high prices all the time. The only thing is, to many it's a fair price since coconuts and some other products are way more expensive back home. Gangsta gangsta
