Plot
Two years after their escapade in Las Vegas, Stu Price, Phil Wenneck, Alan Garner and Doug Billings travel to Thailand
to celebrate Stu's impending wedding to Lauren. Much to Alan's dismay,
they are joined by Lauren's younger brother, Teddy. During Lauren's
father's toast, he shows his disapproval of Stu by comparing him to congee.
At the end of the night, Stu hesitantly joins Phil, Doug, Alan and
Teddy for a beer. Sitting at a campfire and roasting marshmallows, the
group toast to Stu and Lauren's future happiness.
The following morning, Phil, Stu and Alan, along with flamboyant gangster Leslie Chow—whom Alan befriended after Las Vegas—and a chain-smoking capuchin monkey, awaken in a dirty hotel room in Bangkok. Stu has a face tattoo (a replica of Mike Tyson's
tattoo), and Alan's head is completely shaved. They cannot find Teddy,
and discover only his severed finger. Chow begins recalling the events
of the prior night, but he seemingly dies after snorting a line of
cocaine. Panicked, the trio dispose of Chow's body in an ice box.
Through a tip from Doug who is still at the resort (he left the
campfire earlier than the others), they go to a prison to pick up Teddy
but are given a wheelchair-bound elderly Buddhist monk, who knows more about what happened, but does not reveal anything: he has taken a vow of silence,
and rejects also an alternative such as writing something down. After
finding a business card, they travel to a neighborhood smouldering in
ruins. They enter a nearby tattoo parlor where Stu got his tattoo, and
they learn that they had started a fight that escalated into a riot. The
trio then return the monk to his Buddhist temple, where they are
encouraged by the head monk to meditate. Alan is able to recall that
they had been at a strip club. There, they learn that Stu had engaged in
sex with a kathoey
prostitute. Upon exiting, the trio is attacked by two Russian mobsters
from whom they had stolen the monkey, and Phil is shot in the arm.
After Phil is treated at a clinic, Alan confesses that he had drugged
some of the marshmallows from the previous night with muscle relaxants
and ADHD
medication in order to sedate Teddy but accidentally mixed up the bags.
After noticing an address and time point for a meeting written on
Alan's stomach, the trio meet up with another gangster, Kingsley, who
demands Chow's bank account code and password by the next morning in
exchange for Teddy. They return to the hotel to try to find Chow's
password, only to discover that he is still alive. They steal the monkey
(who had the code given to him by Chow inside his jacket for
safe-keeping) back from the Russian mobsters through a violent car
chase, during which the monkey is shot and injured. After taking the
code and leaving the monkey at a veterinary clinic, the group complete
the deal with Kingsley. Suddenly, Interpol
agents appear and arrest Chow. Kingsley turns out to be an undercover
agent, who tells the trio that the police had used the information that
Teddy had disappeared to arrest Chow and Kingsley actually does not know
where Teddy is.
Desperate and out of clues, Phil once again calls Doug's wife Tracy.
Stu then has an epiphany and the trio rushes back to the hotel and find
Teddy in the elevator unharmed (albeit still missing a finger). Teddy
had woken up in the middle of the night to get more ice for his severed
finger (after the first bucket of ice had melted) but became trapped
after the power went out. The four use Chow's speedboat, the keys for
which were in Teddy's pocket, to travel back to the wedding reception.
Arriving on land just as Lauren's father is about to cancel the
wedding, Stu makes a defiant speech where he rejects being boring and
instead states that he is in fact quite wild. Impressed, Lauren's father
gives the couple his blessing. After the wedding continues on, Alan
presents Stu with a special gift at the post-reception dance: a musical
guest performance by Mike Tyson.
Teddy later discovers that he had taken many pictures during the night
on his cell phone. The group, along with Tyson, agree to look at the
pictures together once (some of which reveal Teddy lost his finger
playing the knife game) before erasing the evidence of their exploits once again.
