Try the Beringkit Markets in Mengwi on a Wednesday or Sunday. There is a bird market, cattle market and a 3 storey building that has the usual stuff plus a few odd things that you don't see elsewhere.
Much less than an hour from Ubud and worth a look.
Whilst over that way the Marga Rana Memorial is not to far away and the butterfly park is only a short drive from there.
Now that you're there ;-) you may as well have a drive around the city of Tabanan. The parks and statues are well worth the time spent there.
All in all a very surprising and underrated area.
Hope you enjoy it.
