A forest retreat with countries in its room names

In Yangju, Gyeonggi-do, 국립아세안자연휴양림 (ASEAN National Recreational Forest) has accommodation named after countries including Laos, Brunei, Indonesia and the Philippines. It is a forest getaway with an additional cultural theme. A Korea Forest Service page explains that the site opened in November 2015 to celebrate Korea–ASEAN forestry cooperation. That older policy page should not be taken as proof that every reservation procedure remains unchanged.

Cultural activities listed for November

The official Forest Trip program page lists an ASEAN traditional-clothing experience from March through November, Thursday to Sunday, 1:30–4:30 pm, at KRW 2,000 per person. It describes on-site applications for individuals, advance reservations for groups and roughly 20 first-come participants. Other listed forest activities connect pine trees with Vietnam, paulownia and boxwood with the Philippines, and seasonal fruits and seeds with nature study. These are published program details, not a real-time confirmation that a given session is running or has space.

Check capacity, not just the cabin name

According to the official tariff table, the 12-person 'Laos' cabin is KRW 163,000 on off-peak weekdays or KRW 240,000 during peak periods/weekends. The six-person 'Brunei (1)' cabin is KRW 75,000 or KRW 134,000 respectively. Check the specific unit, guest limit, date-dependent total and cancellation terms when reserving. No live vacancy has been verified here.

A booking detail especially relevant to international visitors

The published discount page describes a 30% room-rate reduction for categories related to ASEAN priority booking and Koreans accompanied by at least one foreign national from the ten countries specified on that page. It also specifies document checks at check-in. This is not an automatic discount for every overseas visitor. A separate, older priority-booking page describes eligibility and application procedures; ask the forest office to confirm which conditions are currently in effect before paying.
