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.

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.
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.
Segi Fresh Bidor After the Opening: What's Still On in October 2026 (Stamp Card to 25 Oct, Weekend Prices, SARA)
Segi Fresh's Taman Kawan opening in Bidor ended on 4 October 2026. The Kumpul & Tebus stamp card still runs to 25 October, the chain's Friday-to-Sunday Hebat Berbaloi mailer covers both Bidor branches, and SARA credit can be spent there until 31 December. Here is what's live, what the opening offered, and one correction to the free-item terms.
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.
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.
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.
8 Things to Do in Taiping, Perak 2026 — Built Around the Rain, Not Against It
Taiping is the wettest town in Peninsular Malaysia, and every itinerary written for it pretends otherwise. This one does not. Eight places worth the drive — with the fees and opening hours read from the zoo's own site, the Taiping Municipal Council's Bukit Larut office and the Department of Museums — arranged in the order that survives an afternoon downpour. Updated 25 August 2026: the Bukit Larut jeep runs daily again, and it now has a published fare.
TUI BLUE The Haven Ipoh in October 2026: No Package, but the Online Suite Rate Now Undercuts September's RM489
The Malaysia Day package is gone and its page now returns a 404. The resort has published no October or Deepavali offer. But its own booking engine is already cheaper than September: the 868 sq ft 1-Bedroom Lakeview Suite with breakfast for two is RM470.61 on a mid-October night, against a rack rate of RM567. It drops to RM447.93 on the Deepavali weekend. Here is how that rate, the RM700 Wellness Retreat and the RM999 Healthy Break compare.
