Full plot (contains spoilers)
Stu Price travels to Thailand for his wedding, attempting to keep the celebration low-key to avoid a repeat of his wild Las Vegas bachelor party. He is joined by his friends Doug, Phil, and Alan, along with Alan's sister Tracy and the groom's brother Teddy. The next morning, Phil, Stu, and Alan wake up in a Bangkok hotel with no memories of the night before. They find Stu has a face tattoo, Alan's head is shaved, and a capuchin monkey is in the room. They also discover that a gangster named Leslie Chow followed them and that Teddy is missing, with only his severed finger found. The trio navigates a series of absurd obstacles, including a silent monk, a riot, and a confrontation with Russian mobsters. They eventually find a way to retrieve the monkey, who holds a code for Chow's bank password. After a frantic search, they locate Teddy in a hotel elevator. The group manages to reach the wedding on time. Stu delivers a defiant speech to the groom's father, who gives his blessing. The film ends with the group viewing photos of the night's events, including a controversial image mimicking a famous historical photograph.
