The Wolfpack’s chaotic Bangkok adventure in "The Hangover Part II" took them to various iconic locations around the city. If you’re looking to retrace their steps (minus the monkey business, of course), then this post is for you!
Luxury on High: Lebua at State Tower
The movie memorably features a scene overlooking the Bangkok skyline from a stunning rooftop bar. This is the Sirocco restaurant at the Lebua at State Tower. The real-life venue, now known as the Sky Bar, offers breathtaking 360-degree views of the city and is a popular tourist destination (reservations recommended!).
Soi Cowboy Shenanigans
While the interior shots were filmed elsewhere, the exterior scenes for the "Siam Sam’s" strip club were filmed at the Cactus Bar on Soi Cowboy. This street is known for its numerous go-go bars, and though not exactly family-friendly, it’s a place that undeniably captures the energy of Bangkok’s nightlife.
Cruising the Chao Phraya River
The film also features a thrilling speedboat chase along the Chao Phraya River, Bangkok’s main waterway. You can experience this iconic river for yourself by taking a boat tour or hopping on a public Chao Phraya Express ferry.
Spiritual Seeking at the Ching Mei Monastery
In their search for answers, the Wolfpack ends up at a monastery. Though not a real functioning monastery, these scenes were filmed at the Ancient City, an open-air museum showcasing replicas of historical structures from Thailand.
Bangkok Bustle: Tuk Tuks and Elephants
The movie also wouldn’t be complete without capturing the general hustle and bustle of Bangkok. Scenes feature the iconic tuk-tuks, motorized rickshaws that are a fun way to get around the city, and even a chaotic encounter with an elephant on a crowded street (hopefully not something you’ll experience firsthand!).
So, there you have it! A behind-the-scenes look at where "The Hangover Part II" was filmed in Bangkok. Now you can plan your very own Bangkok adventure, minus the amnesia and missing teeth (hopefully).
