<\/p>\nNESTLED deep in the jungle on an Idyllic island sits a floating abandoned hotel with a dark and tragic past.<\/p>\n
The Galaxy Hotel – in Bali – was no normal holiday spot, as it's a refurbished seven-storey cruise ship. <\/p>\n
\n<\/p>\n
Although once a popular place for tourists to kick back and relax, the building has now been left to rot and its closure remains shrouded in mystery.<\/p>\n
Locals have dubbed the hotel a "ghost ship" and some believe it was shut down after severalpeople died after they jumped from the roof.<\/p>\n
One reddit user said: "People have killed themselves by jumping [off] the top, and probably because the thing is creepy as hell."<\/p>\n
But others say it was the death off a Russian tourist who plummeted to her death by accident which lead to its demise.<\/p>\n
Following the mysterious deaths it's now believed ghosts roam the corridors of the decaying shipand locals are so afraid they refuse to talk about it.<\/p>\n It's unclear when or why the cruiser was refurbished, but some speculate that it's time at sea came to an end following a leak.<\/p>\n Others believe the ship was deliberately sunk of the west coast of Bang Bao beach.<\/p>\n It is located close to Koh Chang island and used to be part of Koh Chang Grand Lagoona Resort – a spectacular array of artificial lakes, a gorgeous beach, wooden lodges, bungalows, chalets and floating houses.\u00a0<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n The hotel closed more than twenty years ago but it now offers adventurous tourists to go and explore its spooky confines.<\/p>\n Visitors said even on a sunny day the area has a "spooky vibe" and a "very weird atmosphere."<\/p>\n One tourist from The Hungry Backpack said: "We had a weird feeling walking around these floating wooden houses as you can\u2019t stop wonder what had happened. <\/p>\n "We found remote controls for A\/Cs, flash lights and hairdryers simply laying around. Folded toilet paper and towels as if housekeeping had just made their rounds. <\/p>\n "Yet, everything was a bit mouldy and dusty, some things were broken and in desperate need for repairs and there was a strange rotten smell in the air."<\/p>\n The entry fee to visit the ship-shaped hotel is 150 baht per person (\u00a33) and guests will receive a full tour of the property.<\/p>\n The first and second floors used to be meeting rooms and staff areas, while the third to fifth has about 200 guest rooms.<\/p>\n Some of the facilities inside the room \u2014 like TV, refrigerators, bed sheets, and towels \u2014 are still in their original condition.<\/p>\n The last two floors used to be a restaurant.<\/p>\n This is not the only haunted hotel to make the news recently.<\/p>\n Last month we told of a man who lives opposite one of the world's most haunted hotels.<\/p>\n Peet Montzingo has a VIP view of\u00a0Los Angeles' Cecil Hotel – infamous for housing\u00a0serial killers\u00a0and the\u00a0horror\u00a0backdrop for a number of mysterious deaths.<\/p>\n![](\"https:\/\/www.thesun.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/newspress-collage-24780679-1700322922310.jpg\")
