人再囧途之泰囧

“On a wild road trip, three men find inner peace in the city that never sleeps.”

Lost in Thailand is the story of two rival business managers, Xu and Bo, who are fighting over a revolutionary new in-house technology for control of their company. If Xu wins, his future will be secured. The critical task is to secure control over the shares of the chairman, who is at a retreat in Thailand.
