Buddhist Temple Built Out of One Million Beer Bottles 5
Buddhist monks have recycled over one million used bottles to build a temple in Khun Han, Thailand near the Cambodian border. The monks started collecting bottles in 1984 and gathered so many that they decided to use them as a building material. Wat Lan Kuad or 'the Temple of a Million Bottles', is a complex of around 20 buildings, comprising the main temple over a lake, crematorium, prayer rooms, a hall, water tower, tourist bathrooms and several small bungalows raised off the ground which serve as monks quarters, all using bottles. The monks plan on expanding once they have more bottles. Abbot San Kataboonyo says, "The more bottles we get, the more buildings we make."
