Khor said that he, his older sister and five other friends set up the farm last year and it is now open every day from 9 am to 7 pm charging fees ranging from RM5 to RM13 depending on age.

“So from there, we see that the sunflower plant has its own appeal and we want this farm to be a new tourist spot in Bagan Datuk,” he said when meeting here today.
Khor said that because sunflower plants only live for a short period of time, he had to plant them in three batches to ensure the farm didn’t run out of sunflowers and disappoint visitors from across the state.

Khor said his farm was also the place chosen by newlyweds of various races to take photos for memories.
Meanwhile, a visitor, Normila Jufri, 48, from Kuala Selangor, said she was willing to drive for nearly three hours to bring her 15-year-old daughter to the farm after seeing the farm on social media recently.
“In fact, for a long time I wanted to go to a sunflower farm like this in Bangkok, Thailand, but the situation did not allow it. So when I see a farm like this in Bagan Datuk, I got excited.
