Situated at the Khun Han district of Sisaket province, this unique idea of constructing a temple with beer bottles came in the mind of the monks in 1984. Finally, after getting tired of the mounting waste littered in the area, the old monks of the temple encouraged the locals to deposit beer bottles for recycling.<\/p>\n

Over the years, the temple authorities managed to collect a sufficient amount of bottles to use them for the construction of the temple premises which consists of 20 buildings.
