Waste to Wonder: The One Million Bottles Temple in Thailand

Wat Pa Maha Chedi Kaew, also known as the Temple of a Million Bottles, began its construction in 1984 by a group of monks in Thailand. This remarkable temple complex consists of various structures, including the main temple, crematorium, prayer rooms, a hall, water tower, tourist bathrooms, and monk quarters, all adorned with over 1.5 million discarded bottles. The colorful mosaics of Buddha are created from recycled bottle caps, showcasing an impressive blend of artistry and environmental awareness. The vibrant green, brown, and red bottles form a beautiful testament to sustainability.
