Wat Pa Maha Kaew Temple is the only temple in the world build out of glass bottles and bottle caps. It all began in 1984 when the Buddhist monks started gathering bottles to decorate their shelters. The lovely bottle art-work they created attracted more and more visitors that began donating bottles, until there were enough to build an entire building.
Thai monks have used over one million recycled glass bottle to construct their Buddhist temple and its located in Siasaket province, about 370 miles northeast of Thailand’s capital city, Bangkok. There are approximately 1.5 millionglass bottles incorporated in the temple complex, that includes glass shelters, crematorium and even glass toilets.
The bottles make for a surprisingly easy to maintain building material, they let the light in and they don’t fade. The monks are still collecting glass bottles to build even more structures at Wat Pa Maha Kaew.
