As improbable as this sounds, there’s actually a temple in Thailand that’s been built from over 1,000,000 bottles. They are a mixture of old Heineken bottles and either Red Bull bottles or the Thai equivalent. Looks pretty amazing, and certainly unusually.

I’m thinking of applying for the job as official beer bottle emptier for the next temple. 😃

> The Beer Bottle Temple in Thailand is off the beaten track, but well worth a visit. It's built from over 1 million bottles. It's truly awesome.

A million bottles of beer in the wall, a million bottles of beer . . .

I’d take one down, but I’d not pass it around.

I mentioned this before in [this OP](http://www.treehugger.com/sustainable-product-design/buddhist-temple-built-from-beer-bottles.html) a few years ago.
