I have spent a lot of time traveling in Asia and am always looking for the best festivals, events, raves and parties to attend. I literally traveled halfway around the world just to attend a few of them and I personally intend to visit as many as possible in future editions.

So without further ado, here are the 21 best Asian music festivals in my opinion!

Since then I have followed the festival closely and it has easily become the best music festival in Thailand.Many people even refer to him as "Asia's Burning Man".

Everything from the delicious food, incredible production, diverse programming, welcoming atmosphere, and focus on sustainability is sure to impress! Expect to find a great mix of travelers and tourists, as well as expats and locals, and experience the art over four days. Music, workshops and much more.
