The most interesting thing is that all the functional buildings are made with bottles - not just a showcase temple. <br /><br />Well worth a visit.

I checked the location as I thought it might be near Udon Thani but is actually a fair way short of there. <br /><br />'Heineken refreshes the parts other beers cannot reach.' That rings very true in Sisaket Province.

I doubt they have many problems with the bottles breaking. Once they are cemented the tube structure is very strong.Talenhttp://thailandlandofsmiles.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9132162900834611547.post-26520864962749461482009-08-19T17:28:13.301-07:002009-08-19T17:28:13.301-07:00Hi Malcolm,

How wonderful that this idea...Hi Malcom and CieJay,<br />How wonderful that this idea has been taken into action. Too many people talk about good ideas and priciples but they never happen.<br /><br />I dont think there would be a problem with breakages as glass beer bottles are surprisingly very strong. A great find and should be well worth a visit if you get the chance.<br /><br />Thank you for continuing comments on my blog, I really appreciate it considering the lack of return you get from me recently.<br /><br />Warmest Greetings from Martin and Galia in BulgariaMartin MYhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13713913200192088210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9132162900834611547.post-4822390254088576542009-08-19T08:39:46.357-07:002009-08-19T08:39:46.357-07:00Lynne, I'll get the answers to those questions...Lynne, I'll get the answers to those questions as soon as I go there to see live ,the story I read did not address those questions .<br /> Thanks for stopping by MalcolmMalcolm and Ciejay Burgesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09506597733416959273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9132162900834611547.post-28797725151992325352009-08-19T08:32:20.140-07:002009-08-19T08:32:20.140-07:00Wow... that really is an amazing glass-bottled tem...Wow... that really is an amazing glass-bottled temple! I agree, this is something that needs to be seen 'live' to truly appreciate its wonder. <br /><br />I wonder - have they had problems of the bottles breaking (whether on purpose or as a result of unusual extreme temperatures), and how they would go about replacing it.*lynne*http://amalaysianabroad.today.com/noreply@blogger.com
