There are many Batik centers in South East Asia and I spent some enjoyable time working besides local Batik artists in Solo, Java and Cheratin, Malaysia. Cheratin is a small coastal village with a variety of guest houses some in the traditional 'house on stilts' style often essential for the rainy season. There I had a great time working on several batik with the music of the surf and the breeze blowing through the palm trees around me . The sand was a step away and if you turned left and strolled by the ocean you would arrive at Club Med. beaches. Turn right and after a short while you would pass a Cambodian Refugee camp.
