Quad Biking is a superb driving activity that can be enjoyed by all groups with its great variation; racing and trekking.

Last week Warner Bros. Pictures’ The Hangover Part II took staggering box office receipts as the comedy sequel grossed $205m worldwide. The fastest comedy to surpass the $200m mark.

In the US the popular comedy raked in more $135m in its first five days which smashed multiple records! It also broke the 3 day, 4 day and 5 day opening records for a comedy film opening of any rating. To make it sweeter for Todd Phillips, director of The Hangover part II, the film shattered both the Memorial Day weekend record & Friday to Monday holiday record for an R-rated film with an astonishing $103m, doubling the previous film.

The Hangover 2 stars all the previous characters of Phil (Bradley Cooper), Stu (Ed Helms), Alan (Zach Galifianakis) and Doug (Justin Bartha) who this time travel to the exotic Thailand for Stu’s wedding. In essence it’s the same plot set in a different location but still a fantastic mysterious film which you can’t work out.

What happens in Vegas may stay in Vegas, but what happens in Bangkok can’t even be imagined.

The Hangover Part II has been out in UK cinemas for a couple of weeks now but you can still catch it if you’re lucky!
