Another Story Of My Life

Lost World Of Tambun 2015

My roommate and I went to Lost World of Tambun on 29th may 2015. 
I bought the ticket online on 27th may, hoping that we could go the next day. They will send you the payment details through email and the e-store voucher that you need to print out. I received the payment details but not the e-store voucher. I did not know what e-store voucher was so I waited for another email but I received nothing.

I called Lost World of Tambun the next day to inquire about my ticket but the “receptionist” said in her (or his?) monotonous tone that I had to wait for 24 hours and asked to call her back at 5pm. Ok, so this was entirely my fault, I called them at 6pm and no one pick up. 

On 29th may, I called them again and this time the same receptionist picked up and asked for my name, email and order id. What made me angry was, that freaking email that I received on 27th may can be used to claim the ticket at the counter. Turned out, they just need the order id! That’s it! The payment details served as the e-store voucher. &%$@*^&%%&^%%&% Damn receptionist should hear my explanation carefully when I tried to explain during my first call. (Ok so that was my fault too. I talked in English, I should’ve talked in Bahasa)

So you will received an email right after the payment is confirmed. IDK if you will receive the e-store voucher too since I did not. If you do receive any, lucky for you. If you do not, just print out the payment details will do.
#Update: I received the so called e-store voucher on 4th Jun 2015. Freaking 9 days after my last payment. #shittymanagement . The e-store voucher will look something like this.



Before claiming your ticket at the counter, a picture with the cats is a must. Of all the blogs I visited about Lost World of Tambun , there must be at least one picture with the cats.
Then you can proceed to the online ticket counter. There are several counters, and the ticket for claiming online ticket was located on the right side.


The cats picture

My suggestion is, if you are planning to go to LWOT,  buy online ticket. It was cheaper. Check the ticket here Lost World Entrance Tickets. And do you know that tickets purchased are valid for 30 days from the date of purchase?

Ticket for two. Including freaking GST so, 50.40 MYR per person.

It was a lot cheaper during my first visit here. Now the price is whooping 56 MYR. 
WHY. WHY. WHY.


The top blue tag was for locker. It cost you 15 MYR for small locker. It can fit two bags or three if you know how to squeeze your bags like a sardine can. You can just flash your tag on to the scanner near the locker, and it will open sesame. I guess that's why the entrance ticket is so expensive.   
The bottom red tag was the entrance ticket you get at the counter. You cannot bring food or drinks inside, and your bag will be inspected before you enter. But who to say you cannot curi curi bring in food. If you have the skill, go for it. 


The pink tag was for photo. They will take your photo and at the end of the day, they will force you to buy the hideous and expensive photo. Eh, no la. But, I am still amazed. I hid the tag inside my long shirt and there's no way the worker saw it. But amazingly, she stopped me and my roommate to cut the tag and asked us to look at our hideous picture and sort of forcing us to buy it. IT WAS 35MYR for one hideous picture of ours! Ridiculous!  

Since we went on weekdays, there's not much of people there. There's no queuing at the Cliff Racer and Tube Raiders, but we only played Cliff Racer once, Tube Raiders twice. It was tiring trying to bring the tube up to the hill. (excitement level :70%)

There's a petting zoo there where you can see or even pet the animal, hence the name. Not so much since I've already went there before. The most disgusting creatures I saw there, the SNAKES. LOTS AND LOTS OF 'EM. 




It looks real? It Is! It was a preserved horse. among other things. 
There's a preserved goose (swan?) behind.

The most interesting thing there was the tiger valley. It was the main reason why we decided to go LWOT again. We did not have the chance to see the tiger feeding show during our first visit because we were so occupied with the petting zoo. Back then, you can even take picture while holding the snake and pet the sugar glider. Nowadays, they were all locked inside the cage.

The tiger feeding show was okay. I pity the tiger because they were so skinny. I had the chance to hear the roar of a tiger although it was a weak one. The tiger was hungry maybe? 


well, that conclude the interesting activities my roommate and I did at LWOT. After the tiger feeding show, we played some more water and then went to bath and checked out. 

Overall experience: It was okay. 
For me, the ticket was expensive. Bukit Merah Laketown is probably the better choice. The water park was much better. There's even chair lift!
Oopps. 

*cough* BukitMerahLaketown *cough*
