(Main entrance of the temple)Wat Lan Kaut- A great Thai temple built with 1 million beer bottles..
Here you can see the pictures of it..
Location :-
On a trip to the Si Saket area by the Cambodian border near waterfalls a funny Wat (temple) named Wat Lan Kuat in the city of Khun Han about 15 kilometers from the waterfalls. According to details of my friend about this monk who was sick of all the bottles littering the nearby countryside and his ingenious way of getting the locals to clean up the litter they made. What he did was decide to build a temple with the old bottles. He got the people to bring the bottles to him and his acolytes and they built this huge and very beautiful temple complex, out of... mostly green Heineken beer bottles and brown glass Thai beer Chang bottles. As you can see in the accompanying pictures below the glass was set in concrete, whole bottles, to make the buildings in this complex. What is very strange is every building in the place is done like this. The temples, the water tower, the monks quarters, even the crematorium and the many bathrooms they have for the many tourists visiting there. It was a very unique and wonderful place.
