Thai Temples
One of the most breath-taking things about Thailand were its exquisite temples, but after a week straight of looking at temples they all started to look a bit of the same to me. But how cool is Wat Pa Maha Chedi Kaew temple, a Buddhist built temple made entirely out of beer bottles! Definitely gives a whole new life to the potential recycling.
P.S. If you’re in SE Asia and itching to get to Thailand, check out AirAsia – they’re giving out 100,000 free tickets to Thailand in hopes of boosting tourism in “the land of smiles” after the recent turmoil.

Wow, that’s incredible. Thai temples always have such fantastic textures and colors– but that one looks particularly fantastic. -X

What I wouldn’t do to be at a Thai temple today. Ahhh…..I could use a bit of relaxation.
But I am marveling at that recycling effort. Wow. Impressive and inspiring!

Oh my, I didn’t even notice it was made from bottles. I thought it was it was tiles made to look like fabric weave!
I miss Thailand…thanks for the tip from Air Asia. Will Check it out!
