Some people travel to check out ancient historical sites, others to sample the culture or food or language of new as well as interesting destinations.
And, sometimes, people travel to party.
When it concerns budget plan backpacking, one of the most typical methods travelers break the ice is over a drink. Or two. Or three.
Whether it’s at bars, clubs, lounges, beach parties, or just in little groups sitting around speaking while sipping a bottle of wine, alcohol — for much better or worse — is frequently a essential of life on the road.
If you’re wanting to accept your wild side as well as celebration difficult with other travelers, here’s my thoroughly researched list. I’ve been to over one hundred countries as well as have drunk heavily around the world, so I understand a great celebration when I see one!
If you are wanting to celebration when you travel, go to one of these places:
1. Bangkok, Thailand
Bangkok is a major destination for travelers. It’s where the notorious Khao San road is located. It’s full of travelers drinking out of alcohol filled buckets every night. They take after the locals who go out every night drinking from alcohol-filled buckets. Seriously. stop by the ex-pat bars on a Tuesday as well as everybody is drinking. Then, when official bars close, everybody heads out to the after-hours clubs up until 5 am. going to Bangkok won’t do anything great for your liver. Khao San Road, the ex-pat bars, Patpong, Thong Lor, or the new scene mixed drink brewing in Chinatown – Bangkok has something for everyone.
