バリ島ウブド、ムルニの家とスパの静かで豪華なサオアパートメント2

I was born in Penestanan, Bali and am a pioneer of Balinese tourism. I have a personal YouTube video.

I have lived in Sanur and Ubud and travel widely. By the early 1970s I owned 4 shops on Sanur beach and had opened Ubud’s first real restaurant, Murni’s Warung, overlooking the Campuan River. I am still very active in the restaurant.

During my adult life I have been busy collecting and becoming an expert on Asian antiques and textiles and many of them are to be found in Murni’s Warung Shop beside the restaurant. I was the first person in Ubud to have a proper gallery of antiques, textiles, costumes, old beads, tribal jewelry, stone carvings, masks and other ethnic pieces. Many of the pieces are museum quality. I am a member of the Thai Textile Society.

In 2007 and 2009 I exhibited part of my collection at the prestigious shows, Arts of Pacific Asia and Tribal Arts & Textiles, in San Francisco and gave a lecture on Balinese textiles to the Textile Arts Council at the de Young Museum. I participate in Balinese culture on a daily basis.

I have written numerous articles on Balinese art and culture and books
