Yes Ketuts is the wonderful lady always happy and smiling and giving out of 'secret' advice. None of our drivers knew 'Garlic lane' at all but all knew where to go if you said the real name which is Sahadewa street. Her shop is down the 1st little laneway on R) called gang sorga (very small little sign up top of fence) closer to melasti end.
She has 2 shops to browse and then the 'secret' 3rd one where she will get you the 'forbidden' clothes not on display stuff. But seriously if you see something elsewhere that she doesnt have either she will get it for you or she will tell you how much to pay for it so you can go back to the other stores and get it for a better price. She told us how much to pay for bags and suitcases and all sorts. She is so much fun !! The free water makes it an easy visit too. Hunt and spend some time looking under neath in her boxes as at 1st glance it would seem like she doesnt have much range but space is an issue and there are lots of little hidden bits and she has lots more put away.
Happy shopping, have a great trip
