Monastery in The Hangover II Muang Boran Thailand

The Hangover is probably one of the funniest movies to come out of Hollywood in recent memory. It is a story of a group of friends who treat their buddy to a bachelors party in Las Vegas, only to lose him in the process. They now have to find and deliver him in time for his wedding which is in less than 24 hours and thus the misadventures begin. The Hangover was such a success that a sequel came out. The image being shown is the actual monastery where the guys went to. It is located in Muang Boran, in beautiful Thailand.
