Retrace the accidentally debauched steps of the Wolfpack in Bangkok for yourself with Travel Happy’s Location Guide to The Hangover Part II Show The Hangover Part II became one of the biggest movies of 2011 – and the fact it’s set in Bangkok is sparked a renewed interest in the city, especially the locations where the movie was filmed. There’s even a dedicated Hangover Tour you can do without getting in as much trouble as the movie’s main characters. As with all things Hollywood, much of how the Hangover Part II was put together is smoke and mirrors – the Bangkok bedroom that’s already famous from a million promotional posters doesn’t actually exist – it was built back in LA as an interior set. Similarly, while location filming took place in Bangkok at two gogo bars, both of which had their exterior remodeled by the crew for the shoot, all the interior shots were filmed back in the US. Nevertheless, there’s quite a few interesting real-life places in Bangkok and also Krabi that might interest any fan of the movie to see if they visit Thailand. Here’s how to retrace the misadventures of the Wolfpack in Thailand? The Hangover Part II Wedding Setting – Phulay Bay Ritz Carlton, Krabi Krabi is famous for its beauty, particularly its limestone cliffs or karsts that are edged by the Andaman Sea. It’s also the home of the island Koh Phi Phi (made famous by the movie “The Beach”) and Krabi was featured heavily in the 1970s James Bond classic The Man With The Golden Gun. The island where Scaramanga’s hideout was filmed is still a popular tourist attraction to this day. For The Hangover Part II, however, Krabi is not meant to evoke adventure but more tranquility, in order to contrast with the insanity that’s to come later. At least this time Doug can freak out in comfort rather than being chained to a roof in Vegas and sunburnt half to death… The Hangover 2 Go Go Bar part 1 The Hangover 2 Go Go Bar part 2 Speedboat on the Chao Phraya (One thing to note – in the movie the guys drive a speedboat from Bangkok to Krabi and it seemingly takes a couple of hours – it’s actually impossible to do that unless you drive the boat all the way down the coast of Thailand, then down past Malaysia, then around Singapore and back up the western coastline of Malaysia, back into Thailand and then to Krabi – about a week of solid speedboating! In reality you can get to Krabi from Bangkok in one hour by plane or on an overnight bus).
