We ended up spending 2 nights in the abandoned bungalow.
My subconscious must have a been a little more nervous about the whole thing than I was admitting to myself because the first night I woke up screaming bloody murder while Shawn tried to calm me down and convince me I wasn't actually being abducted by Thai criminals in the middle of the night. It was a good 30 seconds of awake screaming... and it was loud. My voice hurt afterwards. All because Shawn was holding my hand in my sleep and I honestly thought it was someone else grabbing onto me trying to pull me out of the bungalow. We spent another night there anyway. We didn't get much rest that night either.
The last night on Koh Chang Island we spent at a real guest house so we could shower before we headed to Cambodia early the next morning.
We caught a series of buses to the border town, and met a fantastic young couple from Slovania. We've stayed with them from that night, stayed together, crossed the border together (20usd each, Eric D., although it took us a good 45 minutes of back and forth and confusion to find the legit place), getting to Siem Reap, renting a tuk tuk to Angkor Wat for 2 days, etc. Changing all this money has been extremely confusing. 7 (+ a British couple) of us rode in the back of a pick up truck for 2 hours, which was fun. Cambodia is very confusing and a bit stressful, but now that we're actually here I think we'll be able to enjoy it a bit more.
We're planning to head north to Laos next and probably skip Vietnam altogether.... FYI.
It's been a ton of fun, but I have to tell ya.... we're getting tired.
