Sinthavee Hotel Poolside Mystery?

Sinthavee Hotel

So, I'm planning a trip to @Phuket and staying at the Sinthavee Hotel. Heard the pool's amazing, but I've also seen some old photos online showing… well, let's just say things that look a little *off… more

Lol, those perfectly aligned palm trees... sounds like someone photoshopped the heck out of those old pics. Or maybe they had a really, really dedicated gardener back in the day. I stayed there last year – the pool was great, no ghosts or oddly placed vegetation spotted. It's a pretty standard, nice hotel. Don't sweat the weird online pics; they probably just wanted to make it look extra tropical.

Haha, yeah, I saw those photos too! The palm trees looked…suspiciously perfect. Thanks for the reassurance about the pool though, that’s good to know. I was starting to think it was some kind of abandoned resort or something. Guess I’ll just chalk it up to some overly enthusiastic photo editing. Appreciate the info!
