Shopping/food experience comparable to Bali?

[Michael C]

So OH and son love being able to stroll for hours looking at the crap craft shops / weird foods etc.
in Bali.

Can you think of anywhere comparable in SE Asia (in July)? Cheap/lovely, but with the shopping element (and not a big
city as we’ll do that too).

I remember Siem Reap having a small area like that, but that was a LONG time ago!

Langkawi: pretty but not much at hand to see/do. Penang: loads to see/do but far more built up.

Thanks in advance!

It’s rainy season but Chiangmai has a lovely market.
Malioboro street in Yogyakarta is another, but a bit more commercial and built up.

Thanks, BBb, both good options. Haven’t been to Yogya since…1988!
