The hilarious truth behind this holiday photo

The nature of the tourism industry dictates that sometimes you end up with something that doesn’t quite match up with what you saw on the website. But this latest photo, which has become an online sensation, might be the most hilarious example yet.

News.com.au reports Jenny Kershaw was looking forward to taking a dip in the infinity pool at her hotel in Vietnam. But when she checked in she soon noticed a discrepancy.

The pool paled in comparison to what was on offer in the photo, and after Jenny shared the photo on Twitter users were quick to poke fun at the shabbiness of the pool.

Some users even noticed that the ladder was so small it had to cut the letter “E” off the word “welcome” to fit it all on to the pool ladder.

Booking.com reached out to rectify the situation, but Ms Kershaw said she wasn’t too upset and found it funny more than anything.

What are your thoughts? Have you ever had something like this happen to you on holidays?
