In Thailand, there is one of the most unusual temples in the world – the temple of Wat Lan Kuad, which was built only from beer bottles. I must say that in this country, perhaps, you will not meet the temple on which the parishioners donated so much money. And not only money, but also ordinary empty beer bottles.

Be that as it may, but if you look closely at the temple itself and think about it, you can roughly calculate that in just 25 years at least 1,000,000 of the most diverse in shape and color of beer bottles were used. Moreover, all of them went not only for the construction of the temple, but also to arrange the courtyard and the construction of the guest house in which tourists stop.

I must say that the Thais were generally considered magnificent craftsmen -builders of temples. And especially such a skill manifested in the east of the country, when this region belonged to the huge state of the Khmeres.

True, traditions traditions, but 30 years ago by Buddhists from the city of Khunkan it was decided to deviate from the established principles of the construction of temples and build an unusual temple for these places. Beer. Interestingly, the walls were erected using brown bottles into which the Chang beer once spilled. But the green from under the “high-haired”, went to the construction of the roof. There were also plugs from which beautiful temple patterns and Buddha images were composed.

This unusual temple itself has been built for a long time – as long as 25 years. It was estimated that a little more than 1,000,000 bottles went to the construction. Actually, this figure fell into the name of this temple. T. e. Its name Wat Lan Kuad is translated from Thai language as “Temple of a million bottles”. And Thai monks are very proud that they managed to build such a wonderful temple, which has no analogues in the world.

Therefore, feel free to go the whole family on a trip to this amazing place to see this beauty.
