This abandoned cruise ship, in Koh Chang, was turned into a floating resort hotel nestled into the country’s lush jungle.

The famous hotel burst into flames as firefighters were unable to extinguish the fire, which started around 11.50am.

Officials mentioned that approximately 50 first responders struggled to extinguish the fire because powerful winds fueled the rapid spread of the flames, as reported by The Nation.

The old ship’s wooden structure also caused the blaze to quickly move across the old hotel’s seven floors.

This dramatic fire sent a cloud of thick black smoke over the tourist island.

The cause of the damaging inferno remains unknown.

The hotel was opened in 1992 but was abandoned around 20 years ago due to financial pressures, according to The Nation.

It’s owners put the unique ship up for sale but no buyers stepped forward.

Despite this, some people believe some apparent deaths on this floating hotel led to its closure.

This spot, dubbed by locals as the “abandoned ship hotel” has been a popular picture spot and a movie location.

Despite this, but it has also been known as a supposedly supernatural site.

This picturesque holiday spot has attracted fans of horror seeking a supernatural thrill in paradise, drawn to its dark history.

Several people have reported seeing ghosts onboard after a tale about people falling off of the boat’s seventh floor.

One reddit user said: “People have killed themselves by jumping [off] the top, and probably because the thing is creepy as hell.”

Its haunted reputation made it a local tourist spot, inviting visitors to come to the ship for hopeful run-ins with the supernatural.

The current owners sold tours of the ship, that allowed visitors an all access pass to the huge former liner.

The first and second floors were made up of meeting rooms and staff areas.

The third, fourth, and fifth floors held around 200 guest bedrooms, which were still in their original conditions before the fire.

This old cruise ship was even complete with a restaurant that spanned the top two levels.
