Stay at this Korean Buddhist temple for S$12

An affordable temple stay programme for foreigners will be available next month, a local Buddhist body said Tuesday.

The Cultural Corps of Korean Buddhism said that five selected temples in Gangwon Province -- Naksansa, Baekdamsa, Samhwasa, Shinheungsa and Woljeongsa -- will offer the two-day programme tailored for foreign visitors from Aug. 18-28, and the cost is set at 10,000 won (S$12).

The special programme is being prepared as the nation is scheduled to host the Winter Olympics in February 2018.

Applications will be accepted until 4 p.m. on Aug. 16.
