Badminton Court Rates in Ipoh 2026: RM10 to RM20 an Hour, and Why 10pm Is the Cheapest Time to Play
We read the live rate cards of eight Ipoh-area badminton halls on 18 October 2026, from Falim and Jalan Raja Musa Aziz to Tambun, Ulu Kinta and Lahat. An hour costs RM10 to RM20, the after-work band is the dearest, and two halls cut their price after 10pm to as little as RM10 an hour.

The Banjaran Hotsprings Retreat in Ipoh is serving The Pink Table, a Breast Cancer Awareness Month afternoon tea, daily from 2pm to 5pm until 31 October 2026 at RM150 nett per guest. Every diner gets a voucher for a 3D mammogram and breast ultrasound at Sunway Medical Centre Ipoh for RM208 instead of RM568.
KTM MySawasdee to Hat Yai: Executive Coach Half Price at RM375 With Code AXC50, Trips 23 Oct to 26 Dec
KTM's MySawasdee charter train from KL Sentral to Hat Yai has a new Executive Coach (AXC), and promo code AXC50 cuts its RM750 one-way fare to RM375 on every trip listed from 23 October to 26 December 2026. Here is what the premium seat gets you, how it compares with the RM95 seat and the sleeper berths, and when the cheaper berth is the smarter buy.
Impiana Hotel Ipoh After 10.10: Rooms From RM180, Now Free to Cancel, Plus an RM68 Deepavali Hi-Tea
Impiana Hotel Ipoh's 10.10 Double Deal closed on 22 October 2026. Its replacement, a Limited Time Escape rate at 55% off, starts at RM180 a night for a Deluxe before tax and can be cancelled free up to a day before arrival. We priced it on 23 October, compared it with 10.10, and added the new RM100 Day Use deal and the 8 November Deepavali hi-tea (RM68++, buy 5 get 1 free).
Hotel Buffet Prices in Ipoh 2026: Weekday Lunch From RM24.80, Saturday Seafood at RM108, and the Hotels That Post No Price
We checked more than 15 Ipoh and Perak hotels on 7 October 2026 and only five publish a current buffet or hi-tea price on their own channels. MH Hotel's weekday lunch is RM24.80 nett, Excelsior's Sunday hi-tea RM50.80 nett and WEIL's Saturday seafood dinner RM108 nett. Here is every session, the child and senior rates, the group deals, and which prices are old.
Screamfest 5 at Lost World of Tambun: RM115 With MyKad Code, 9 Nights From 16 Oct
Sunway Lost World of Tambun's Screamfest 5 "Sawadee" runs on nine Friday-to-Sunday nights from 16 October to 1 November 2026. The MyKad code cuts an adult ticket from RM140 to RM115 and a child ticket from RM115 to RM95, and the ticket already includes the Hot Springs and Night Park. We did the family maths and checked the annual pass angle.
Ramen Hitoyoshi 9th Anniversary: 2nd Bowl 25% Off, 3rd Bowl 50% Off Until 30 Nov
Ramen Hitoyoshi's Ramen Feast runs 1 October to 30 November 2026 at all six Malaysian outlets: the second bowl of ramen is 25% off and the third is 50% off, on any ramen. The discount always lands on the cheapest bowl, so it pays most when everyone orders a similar price.
Ipoh Attraction Ticket Prices 2026: A RM9 Castle, a RM160 Theme Park, and the Two Stops You Cannot Just Walk Into
We read the ticket prices of seven Ipoh-area attractions on their own websites and booking pages on 28 September 2026. A Malaysian adult pays RM9 at Kellie's Castle and RM125 at the Lost World of Tambun gate, the TT5 tin dredge is now a flat RM38 sold only online, and Han Chin Pet Soo still runs on appointments and donations. Here is what each costs, when it is shut, and what needs booking.
Bukit Merah Waterpark RM23 Is Back: Salam 7 Negeri 4.0 for 7 States, 19 Oct to 19 Nov 2026
Bukit Merah Laketown Resort has replaced its northern-only Cheq Oghang Utagha 5.0 offer, which ended on 18 October, with Salam 7 Negeri 4.0: the same flat RM23 waterpark ticket for an adult or child, now open to Perak, Penang, Kedah, Perlis, Kelantan, Terengganu and Pahang ID holders from 19 October to 19 November 2026. The gate price with MyKad is RM40 adult and RM30 child. It is walk-in only, ten tickets per ID card; everyone else can buy the Gempak Holiday online ticket at RM30 adult and RM25 child.
Dusit Princess Ipoh Grand Opening Special: Rooms From RM232 With RM50 Dining Credit, Priced Against Its Own Rate Card
Dusit Princess Ipoh opens on 1 October 2026 in the building that was Travelodge Ipoh, next to the Perak Turf Club. Its Grand Opening Special runs for stays from 1 October to 31 December and adds RM50 of daily dining credit. We priced it on the hotel's live booking engine on 13 September and re-checked every rate on 20 September: a weekday Superior room is RM232 against RM290 on the flexible rate, a Saturday is RM256 against RM320, and RM232 becomes RM253.56 once tax is added. The catch is that the opening rate is prepaid and cannot be cancelled, changed or refunded.
Haidilao Durian Mooncake Buy 1 Free 1 Has Ended: What It Cost, and Haidilao's Deals Now
Haidilao's Mid-Autumn durian mooncake deal, a six-piece Duria Black Thorn tin for RM198 with a four-piece Musang King box free, ended with the festival on 25 September 2026. Duria's own shop listed every 2026 mooncake as out of stock on 28 September. Here is what the deal cost, so you can judge next year's, and what Haidilao Malaysia is running now: a Super Tuesday member day on 29 September, the Happy Pass voucher packs on sale to 16 October, and a new RM128 set for two.
Golf in Ipoh and Perak 2026: RM71 or RM458 for a Weekday Round, and Meru Valley's RM200 Deal Until 30 September
We read the rate card of every Perak golf club that publishes one, on 11 September 2026. A weekday 18 holes with a buggy costs RM71.40 at Teluk Intan and RM458.60 at Meru Valley, a spread of more than six times inside one state. Kinta Golf Club publishes the clearest all-in card at RM102, Damai Laut sells only packages from RM116 nett, Clearwater's fee page still quotes GST, and Royal Perak has taken its rate card down. Meru Valley's RM200 Swing Into Malaysia Day round runs on weekdays until 30 September; re-checked on 22 September, no rate has changed and Meru has posted nothing for October yet.
Lost World of Tambun's Own Promo Codes: RM40 Off an Ipoh Day Ticket, RM450 Off the Hot Springs Pass
Sunway Lost World of Tambun prints two promo codes on its own ticket store and explains neither. We put both through the cart on 7 September 2026, re-tested them on 8 September, and the results invert. On day tickets, WS2602MYKAD is the real one: a Malaysian adult theme park ticket falls from RM160 to RM120, a child from RM140 to RM103, and a night park adult from RM130 to RM100. WS2602ONLINE is worth only RM5 to RM7 there. On the Hot Springs and Night Park Annual Pass it is the other way round. WS2602MYKAD is refused outright, while WS2602ONLINE takes the pass from RM648 to RM198, a RM450 cut that pays for itself on your second night visit. Two things to know before you buy: the store accepts only one code per cart, so the pass and the day tickets have to be two separate transactions, and every night park ticket is void on the nine October and November nights that belong to Screamfest 5.
AEON Ipoh Stamp Card, Till 25 November: Why One RM400 Receipt Earns Less Than Eight RM50 Ones
AEON is running a stamp card at its Ipoh store called Stamp It, Fill It, Redeem It. Cards are issued until 27 October 2026 and the last day to redeem is 25 November 2026. The mechanic looks ordinary until you read the one line that matters: a stamp is earned per receipt, not per ringgit. One receipt of RM50 earns exactly the same single stamp as one receipt of RM400. That inverts the usual supermarket logic and decides whether the card is worth carrying at all. We worked out what a full card costs an AEON member versus a non-member, why the free membership is worth RM240 of avoided spending here, and why redeeming at four stamps quietly cancels the better reward at eight.
Sunway Lost World Hotel Stay & Play Ended 30 Sep: What an Ipoh Theme Park Stay Costs Now (Oct 2026)
Sunway Lost World Hotel's Stay & Play package ended on 30 September 2026. On 2 October we searched the hotel's own booking engine for 18 dates to 8 December and found no theme park bundle anywhere. The ordinary room still includes breakfast and the Hot Springs & Night Park at RM387 on Sunday to Thursday. Adding two theme park tickets bought with Sunway's own WS2602MYKAD code makes it RM627 for a couple, RM116 more than the package. The hotel is closed on Friday 16 October, and Screamfest nights cost about RM20 more.

Merdeka Run 2026 – Ipoh (AEON Mall Kinta City, 16 August) is long over, and as of 13 October Howei's results index still has no Ipoh e-cert, while every other Merdeka Run leg, including Seri Manjung on 6 September, does. The organiser's next Ipoh run is the Batik Run 2026 at AEON Mall Station 18 on Sunday 18 October, with race kit collection on Saturday 17 October, 1-6pm, and registration still open at RM34.90-RM39.90.

Jaya Grocer Fitness & Wellness, October 2026: One Price Cut Left, Plus the HSBC RM15 Cashback
Re-read on 8 October 2026, only one of the 36 live products on Jaya Grocer's Fitness & Wellness page still carries a struck-through price: Sanitarium So Good Vanilla Almond Milk 1L at RM10.99 (was RM12.50) — and even that cut has shrunk from RM9.99 in September. The other three September markdowns are gone. What is new is a bank deal: HSBC credit cards get RM15 cashback on a RM250 single receipt, in store or online, 1 Sep 2026 to 30 Apr 2027. Here are the real shelf prices, the two coupons, the free-delivery line and how to stack them.

8 Best Heritage Sites & Street Art Spots in Ipoh (2026): Free Entry, Hours & Closing Times
Ipoh's heritage trail is almost entirely free — what ruins a day here is arriving at a locked gate. Sam Poh Tong shuts at 2pm, Han Chin Pet Soo is appointment-only and closed Mondays, and Kek Lok Tong has been closed since October 2024. Here's the route that works.

Gatti Sports Ipoh Sale (Oct 2026): None in Perak Since 6 Sept — Next Legs Are Alor Setar and Rawang, Plus 5 Perak Shops and RM30-Off Codes
There is still no Gatti Sports sale in Ipoh as of 24 October 2026: Perak's last leg (Sentra Mall Ipoh Klebang) ended 6 September. Gatti has since moved north and south — City Plaza Alor Setar runs to 8 November and Anggun City Rawang is set for 6–10 November. Ipoh shoppers can still use five permanent Perak shops and gattisfo.com codes, the best being RM30 off RM250.
