Wat Pa Maha Chedi Kaew (วัดป่ามหาเจดีย์แก้ว), more commonly known as Wat Lan Khuad (วัดล้านขวด, "Temple of a Million Bottles"), is a bizarre yet entirely serious Buddhist temple complex constructed entirely out of glass bottles. All the architecture is beautiful, particularly the pavilion called ‘Sala Thansmo Maha Chedikaew’ Ubosoth located mid of the pond. The ubosoth houses a very beautiful white jade Buddha image. Get there from Si Saket City on highway 211 and 2111 via Amphoe Payu and Prai Bung. The trip is 61 km, and it's a worthwhile detour if visiting Preah Vihear.
