Besides Khao San Road, there\u2019s Patpong, Thong Lor, Silom (Smalls, a speakeasy cocktail bar, is my favorite in this area), and the new cocktail scene in Chinatown. Bangkok truly has a party for everyone.<\/p>\n<p>Just remember to stick to beer if you\u2019re on a budget.

If you are looking to cut loose and flex your party muscles, be sure to check out these cities. They are some of the best places to party in the world!<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Note<\/strong>: I know Ibiza is a great place to party so before everyone asks why I didn\u2019t include it on the list here\u2019s why: It\u2019s pretty much club central so if you aren\u2019t a clubber, then Ibiza isn\u2019t a good place.
