This is no cave

Our travel agent in HK offered us a US$600 refund, and a 5% discount on future packages. 

Their staff also say it is unlikely that they will continue their relationship with their Sri Lankan partners. 

Should we take it, or should we press for more?

Demand a t-shirt and a baseball cap as well.

This is not their first offer.  The first one was like US$450.

Then whatever you're doing, keep it up.

How much did the whole shebang cost?

It is tough to calculate the cost of the Sri Lankan trip, because we also went to Bangkok after we left Columbo.  US$600 should more than cover the guided tour part of the entire journey, though

I've no clue what consumer protection laws and that sort of thing are like in Hong Kong. If they're like in Britain you could press for a lot more via the courts and 'mental anguish' and all that crap but for some reason I'm betting they're not (rampant capitalism and all that).

There is no evidence.  It is just our word vs his.

Then I think the $600 back plus another $200 for your incovenience should do it.

consumer protection laws in Hong Kong?  You're kidding, right?
