For me, it's the same India, only with better beaches, without big megacities with slums. But it still remains quite problematic in political, economic, and social terms. With expensive energy and poor service. These are my rather skeptical thoughts. Maybe someone can share how they see this island, having already visited or while being there?
For me, Sri is the golden mean between the resorts of India and Thailand.
I don't know why you are interested in electricity; in terms of beaches and population, they are about the same. Goa has a more diverse cuisine, while Sri Lanka's is spicier and the selection is more modest when it comes to national dishes.
In general, energy. For example, this means that housing with air conditioning will be more expensive. Or for example, refueling a scooter or a car...
It’s the same to sit in 5-star hotels if you don’t step outside the gate. If you wander along dusty roadsides, then the political, social, and economic aspects are somewhat cleaner than in India.
@Vladimir: Both countries are about the same for relaxation.
@Natalek: Vip India is really something)
@Natalek: Great, where will you be living?
@Anna: Unavatuna
I simply don't understand how one can compare things that cannot be compared.
@Victor: I've heard the opinion that Sri Lanka is a VIP India. We've been to Goa many times in the north and south, we love India with all our heart for its unforgettable colors, we're going to Sri Lanka in December, we'll compare.
