Shopping in Ubud
Ubud is the shopper's paradise of Bali, with everything from
tacky plastic doohickeys to priceless works that will have you
thinking of selling the SUV.
Start at Ubud Market at the southeast corner of Monkey Forest
Road and Jalan Raya Ubud (open during daylight hours.). It's
a real market -- great noisy fun, with dozens of stalls selling
produce and livestock along with tourist kitsch.
All along Monkey Forest Road, Jalan Raya Ubud, and Jalan Hanoman,
shop after shop is filled with gorgeous sarongs, woodcarvings,
mobiles, jewelry, incense, pottery, and gaily colored shirts.
It's all geared to tourists, but the quality isn't bad. Elsewhere
in town you can find jewelry, housewares, and textiles.
Threads of Life, Jalan Kajeng 24 (tel. 361/972187; www.threadsoflife.com),
a foundation that supports groups of weavers on the eastern
islands of Indonesia, sells unique local patterns.
Treasures, Toko, and Toko East are fine boutiques owned by the
folks at Ary's Warung; find them on Main Street in the center
of Ubud or on the Internet at www.dekco.com. Other boutiques
and galleries line the road running north of central Ubud toward
the high-end resort area. The lace shop Toko Uluwatu (www.uluwatu.com)
has outlets all over Bali. You can find its popular storefront
on Monkey Forest Road in the center of Ubud. Okrakartini, east
of the palace on the Main Road (tel. 361/975624), is an upmarket
boutique with fine cloth, jewelry, and antiques.
For books, stop by Periplus on Monkey Forest Road (tel. 361/975178)
or Ganesh Bookshop, Jalan Raya (tel. 361/973359; www.ganeshabooksbali.com),
adjacent to the popular Buddha Cafe.
