Thailand has always been one among the favorites in a traveler’s guide. Its fascinating architecture and culture is admired by the visitors throughout the world. One such must see shrine is the Buddhist temple in the city of Khun Han, situated 400 miles to the north east of Bangkok. Thai monks used more than a million recycled beer bottles (Heineken-green colored and Chang Beer-brown) to built this temple.

This creative structure would always remind its visitors about the magnitude of contamination these bottles would otherwise cause and also the fact that one doesn’t need to be a professional to make something so beautiful and eco-friendly. Even the toilets, the water tower, tourist bathrooms and crematorium of this temple are made of bottles. The monks and the locals who have helped them build this stunning temple should be appreciated for their concern for nature.

So, the next time you throw a party at your place; don’t ever throw away the beer bottles. Try recycling them asyou never know what could be made out of them. You’ll also be reducing trash that way.
