How to Get There

Hi guys, this is my first trip to travel abroad and my first destination is Siem Reap, Cambodia. Starting my journey from Juanda Surabaya to Siem Reap, but before arrive there, I have to transit at Kuala Lumpur and Bangkok first. It's almost 10 hours trip and finally I arrive at Siem Reap. I arrive at Siem Reap at 9 pm and feel so tired after long journey so I decide to rest at hotel and continue the trip tomorrow.
