When you travel, it’s always a good thing to immerse in the culture of the place. For some places, their culture is to party. It’s always great to mingle with locals over some drinks as they tend to open up to visitors and teach you things about their way of living. Places where parties last for days, and where it’s okay to get a little weird. Take a look at the craziest party destinations in the world.

8. Bangkok, Thailand

Bangkok is Asia’s top party city. It is known for having sophisticated and modern bars and clubs. Due to its large population, the bars and clubs are almost always packed and ready for a night of partying. There is a sense of no-fear culture that transcends the place. Can you stomach snake blood, or crickets perhaps?

7. Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

Rio is known for football, beautiful women, 24/7 parties and people that just nuts about life. Parties on the beach happen during the day and during the night as well. It is home to the world famous Copacabana beach, where you can enjoy the view of the ocean, drink in hand. The waterfront bursts alive at night with samba beats and disco clubs until the next morning when the day shift parties take over – and so the cycle goes endlessly on.

6. Mykonos, Greece

Home to one of the most frequented beaches in the world, Super Paradise Beach, Mykonos is one of the most insane party destinations in the world–comparable to the legendary Ibiza. Parties usually start on the beach in the afternoon and end in huge clubs the following day. In a lot of these pulsating bashes, clothing becomes optional. Bare-all parties are totally fine in Mykonos.

5. New Orleans, USA

New Orleans is home to the annual Mardi Gras festival, which is basically an excuse for people to get drunk all day. When it isn’t Mardi Gras, it is still a great place to go bar hopping as establishments allow you to have your drinks in take-out plastic cups. Where else in the world can you do that? Home to many cultural heritages, New Orleans is best known for its feisty cuisine and great music.
