LIKE an artwork of emeralds and agates, Wat Charok Padang is a testimony of the beauty of glass bottles in architecture. The main attraction of the temple is the 9m-tall tower, studded with over 30,000 glass bottles and itself shaped like a bottle too. The bottle tower has a feature for Buddhists who like to have their newly bought cars ‘blessed’, said Chaleen.
