One of the most unforgettable events in the world is The Full Moon Party. Although this is celebrated a few places in Asia, it is best known as a Thailand tradition that occurs on every full moon. Over fifty thousand people throng on the Thailand island of Kho Pha Ngan to celebrate the full moon on the beach. Revelers at this event partake in the local but lethal alcohol, buckets.

The Burning Man festival attracts over fifty thousand attendees from all over the world. Tons of men, women and children come to the Black Rock Desert which is located in Nevada, USA, to see the forty foot high structures being set alight (hence its name).
