Monk Temple built from Reused Glass Bottles
One night in Bangkok and the world’s your oyster. But what about the rest of Thailand? Journey with me, if you please, 370 miles to the north-east of Bangkok to the Wat Pa Maha Chedio KaewSisaket temple (nicknamed Wat Lan Kuad, or “Temple of a Million Glass Bottles”).
Wat Lan Kuad monks started collecting discarded glass bottles way back in 1984 so they could decorate their buildings. Apparently, their creativity with how they reused the glass bottles inspired tourists to start bringing bottles to the temple. Today, their seemingly fragile (yet actually pretty sturdy) temple is infused with over a million reused glass bottles! Hot dang!
I’ll leave you with some pictures of this magnificient temple. It’s purty cool how they used the glass bottles and even the metal caps of the bottles. ¡Disfrute los fotos!
I found out about this from good ol’ Been-Seen, who in turn found out about it from some Yahoo page that don’t exist no more.
amazing! I was close to there, 3 yrs. ago…sorry I missed it. I'm saving orange juice cans, now…
I have been there! Its beautiful and cool in there but its not quite finished so you could go back and see it for yourself. Leave a donation if not money take some bottles.
Wow have you actually been there?
It seems to be a trend at the moment.. check out http://bit.ly/3FSDX
Pretty cool hey!?
Nay, I have not been there, not yet at least. That is cool. It'd be awesome to have a whole city made of recycled/reused mess…
Perhaps we should start it… you in the States – me in England.. meet in the middle??? Hmmm interesting blog piece! haha
I've started, I have a hut made of old cardboard boxes so far. Every journey has to begin with a first step, yeah?
Ha true, I'll start with the beer bottles.. seem to have a lot of them in our recycling bin for some reason?
Question is – what to build?
A glasshouse made out of beer bottles would be awesome; I ain't sure if it'd let enough sun through, though. It's worth a shot to try!
On to it.. Will let you know when have pictures!!
[...] Of course, I am not the only one to have taken a practical stance what I call “Recyclo Art” as shown in the recent coverage of the Monk’s Temple in Thailand. [...]
Attempt one.. check.. Tea party! http://goldie27.wordpress.com/2009/03/06/recyclo-…
Wow, that was fast. That's some speedy tea-cup-making.
This is never easy.

Great post! I?m just starting out in community management/marketing media and trying to learn how to do it well – resources like this article are incredibly helpful. As our company is based in the US, it?s all a bit new to us. The example above is something that I worry about as well, how to show your own genuine enthusiasm and share the fact that your product is useful in that case
I have been to your blog before. The more I read, the more I keep coming back!
I love your site,it's very helpful for us!hair accessories
I am impressed, Very rarely do I discover a blog that is both educative and entertaining. Your thoughts are important; the issue is something that not enough people are speaking intelligently about. I’m very happy that I stumbled across this in my search for something relating to it.
