Delhi Planet Weekends – 5 Places Where The Party Never Stops

Q. All the terms below can be associated with a common event, that happens to be a very frequently used word of the English Language. What is this word ? The terms are “birthday, entering a new house, passing an examination, getting a better job, getting a promotion, getting married, new year’s eve”.

Hmm, are you stretching your grey cells to find the answer to the above question. Hopefully not, cause the answer is quite simple “PARTY”. A party is essentially a celebration and an event that you can enjoy with your friends, family, like minded people and in some cases complete strangers. While some people need a good reason to throw a party, other’s just do it cause they have nothing better to do (hugh hefner, paris hilton are a few names that come to mind ).

Just like any other mass human activity, a party too needs to be held at the right place and needs to have the right atmosphere. DelhiPlanet takes a look at 5 such events which attract people from all over the world, cause they give you an environment where everyone has just one thing on their mind, “to have fun“.

Full Moon Party, Koh Phangan, Thailand

Once upon a time, around the year 1987 a group of tourists while lazing around on a beach in Koh-Phangan discussed an idea. They were all looking up at the stars and the beautiful moon-lit sky. The Moon at this place was one of the most amazing sights they had ever seen, never before had they seen a moon so beautiful. “Why not have a party here, so that many more people can enjoy this sight and celebrate the beauty of god’s creation“, said one of them. Sure let’s organize a Full Moon Party, said the others in unison.

From that day onwards full-moon nights have never been the same for this island in thailand. Every full-moon night the crescent shaped beach of Haad Rin on this island turns into an all-night beach party where 1000’s of people from across the world gather together and enjoy the splendid beauty of the night. One can enjoy various types of alcohol, cocktails and local delicacies apart from extravagant displays of fireworks, fire-eaters, jugglers and much more.

The full moon party at Koh-Phangan is one of the best parties in the world , and it’s much better than any of the jazzy clubs you’ve ever been too, cause you don’t need to pay a dime to enjoy this party.

Club La Vela, Panama City, Florida

Club La Vela is a nightclub located in the resort community of Panama City Beach, Florida. It is billed as the largest nightclub in the United States. While open throughout most of the year, the club has gained most of its fame — or infamy, in the eyes of critics — during the weeks of spring break, when thousands of college students converge on the club for parties, drinking, and more.

The club is one of the trendiest and most respected nightclubs in the world and has numerous lounges and discos that play various forms of music. Thunderdome, Club La Vela’s largest multi-story theme room features a sound system you can feel in your chest, and a lightshow like no other in North America!. If you’re into techno-music, the Underground, Nightgallery, & Galaxy Room are for you as thousands of people dance to the unifying beats, Live Music fans feast their appetite for some incredible live Rock in the Rock Arena where the country’s hottest touring bands tear up the stage 7 nights a week.
