Wat Lan Kuat 

I am almost convinced that our Thai friend disapproved the visit to this temple. Lan Kuat means "one million bottles" and this is the material the temple is built with. All the buildings are made (or covered) with bottles. When we visited one could have thought that people emptied the bottles right there because we saw a few drunk people, but this was due to a funeral. It was certainly worth the looong side trip through the very remote South of the Province of Sisaket, on the border to Cambodia.
