This one sounds like a lot of headaches in the making. It?s the Asia Annihilator, billed as ?the world?s first Asian pub crawl tour,? and it sets off from Australia next May.

Anyone with a big thirst, stamina and a spare $3500 can book a seat and the cost includes a video production so travellers can re-live any forgotten moments long after the tour has ended.

The trip is organised by Australia?s Thirsty Swagman Touring Company and participants will hit the ground running? for the closest pub at the first port of call, Singapore. After two nights visiting local night spots, the entourage will move on to Phuket.

"It's the most exciting travel adventure to Asia to hit the market in some time," enthuses Kenneth Hart, founder of Thirsty Swagman in the press release. "This pub crawl is a unique way for travellers to combine a holiday with a great party, while experiencing a real taste of the local pubs and bars.

"The world's number one live music bar, Rock City on Bangla Road in Thailand, is centre stage on this tour," says Hart. "VIP entry and some of the best AC/DC tribute bands on stage make it a definite highlight."

The tour is expected to appeal to fly-in-fly-out workers who like to party during their week off - and maybe spend another week off recovering?

Tour accommodation includes breakfast, probably served around the time the revellers are returning after a night out.

First drinks will be served on May 8 and last drinks orders taken on May 13.

It will be a long flight home!
