The KaZantip Republic is back, but this time, instead of in Georgia or Crimea, the 10-day, 24-hour beach bash – which pulses with Eastern European energy and sexy style – has moved to the tropical jungles of Cambodia on the island Kaoh Puos. The only questions are, are you ready to get weird, and is your beach bod up to par?

Remember KaZantip is not a festival – it's a straight-up party republic, complete with its own constitution and religion, and ruled by "ruthless" party PreZident Nikita Marshunok, who really just wants you to leave your consumer-driven life behind and absorb as much of the sun, sand, waterfront bars, underground lairs, and large-scale art installations KaZantip has to offer.

If this sounds like a fantasy come to life, well, we're not done yet. Remember the aforementioned jungle island of Cambodia this year's iteration – which begins full force February 18 – take place? We have some insanely gorgeous photos to make your current winter situation seem even more unbearable than it already does.
