XingAI verdict
Our pick for most party travelers is Bangkok: the nights are wilder, longer and cheaper, and the food at 2am beats anything Miami serves after midnight. But if you want the beach in the morning and the club at night with zero friction, Miami wins — Bangkok has the river, not the surf.
Trade-offs
Miami is effortless — sun, sand, English — but pricey in season and one-note after a few days. Bangkok is thrilling and cheap, but hot, sprawling, and the chaos isn't for everyone. Miami is the easy long weekend; Bangkok is the legendary week. Run /decide with your budget and heat tolerance.
