Thailand is home to hundreds of majestic temples, but one stands out for its creative brilliance and sustainability – the Beer Bottle Temple, also known as Wat Pa Maha Chedi Kaew.

Nestled in Sisaket province, this temple isn’t made of gold or marble – it’s made almost entirely from over 1.5 million recycled beer bottles. Yes, you read that right! The green and brown bottles—mostly Heineken and Chang—have been turned into walls, roofs, and even intricate decorative details.

♻️ A Temple Built with a Purpose

Wat Pa Maha Chedi Kaew was constructed by Buddhist monks with a vision to promote environmental consciousness. Instead of letting glass waste pile up, they transformed it into a symbol of mindful living and sustainability.

Every structure on the temple grounds — including prayer rooms, water towers, restrooms, and crematoriums — is built using beer bottles and concrete. Even the bottle caps are creatively used in mosaic art.
