Häftigt tempel byggt av tomflaskor.

Hej

Sprang på detta om ett tempel byggt av tomflaskor, det ser både snyggt ut samtidigt som det måste vara ett bra sätt att ta vara den resurs flaskorna faktiskt är.


Thailand has a Buddhist temple made of… beer bottles
Could this be the secret to their hop-piness?

In Thailand, old monks seem to prefer beer. Or at least beer bottles. The Sisaket province—500km away from Bangkok—is home to a remarkable Buddhist temple called Wat Pa Maha Chedi Kaew, also known as Wat Lan Kuad or ‘temple of a million bottles’.

The story of this incredible feat dates back to 1984 when monks got tired of seeing the mounting litter in their area. They encouraged local authorities to deposit beer bottles with them for recycling. Over the years, they managed to collect enough to use them as construction material for building a temple complex of around 20 buildings. Think prayer rooms, a hall, water tower, tourist bathrooms, residential quarters, crematorium—all made using glass and concrete. Even the mosaics of Buddha are created using recycled beer bottle caps.

Hej

Sorry, missade detta i farten.

Men jag tänkte att det var lite på tiden att visa något positivt om tempel och munkar efter allt negativt som har förekommit på senare tid.

Coin wall temple puts losing lottery tickets to use
August 2, 2017 Nina Suebsukcharoen
THE abbot of Wat Thung Kled in Prachuab Kriri Khan province who is famous for decorating his chapel walls with baht coins has come up with another bright idea of using losing lottery tickets to decorate a multipurpose building, Thai News Agency said today (August 2).

Prasobchok Chanaphai , the warden of Wat Thung Klet in Thap Kasae district of Prachuab Kriri Khan province, said when the temple built its new chapel it used 3,700,000 baht coins donated by both Buddhists and tourists to decorate the walls and turned it into the first baht coin chapel in the country.

This has been hugely successful as those who come here have deep faith in Buddhism and it gives them pleasure to see the beauty and creativity within the temple.

The latest idea of Phra Kru Arthit Isornyano, Wat Thung Kled’s abbot, and Na Hukwang subdistrict’s Ecclesiastical Officer is to paste around 3 million losing lottery tickets on a multi-purpose building within the temple according to a creative and colorful design worked out beforehand.

Aside from being very original this would cheaper than painting the walls or pasting wallpaper on them. Coatings of acrylic and glaze will ensure that these discardable tickets last a long time.
