KimDidMeGood Posted June 4, 2009 Report Share Posted June 4, 2009 Even the bathrooms and the crematorium are made of beer bottles. How is it possible the bottles don't explode with the heat? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khunsanuk Posted June 4, 2009 Report Share Posted June 4, 2009 Hi, Not been there, but there's a similar one on the road to Tak Fa in Nakhon Sawan which I visited a couple years back. There were only 3 monks there, but they were really friendly and showed us around the entire temple grounds (which included some Buddha statues in small caves). Sanuk!

Old Hippie Posted June 6, 2009 Report Share Posted June 6, 2009 Current Mrs. Hippie refers to this place as "Wat Kwod" (thai for wat bottle). Cent and I got lost trying to find this place, drove around Sai Sa*** looking for it...SSG lives a stones throw from it...I'd like ro see it next time I visit DS and Cent, hopefully one of them has a better map...

fudgyMcPacker Posted June 7, 2009 Report Share Posted June 7, 2009 I've been there. The dogs are bastards. The temple was interesting. On the road from Suawanaphum to Roi Et there is a building or two in a temple complex made in this same manner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Coss Ah no, it is in Khun Han which is in SSSS...Si...Si Saaakaaa.....Si Saket, there, I said it, no attack, I am cured! As others have pointed out, there are others as well, in other locations. This may have been the first one or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
