AUS to Bangkok is roughly 30 hours; several TX guys I know who go to the EU and to Asia in lieu of this pain in the a$$ trip across the Pacific simply route the flight thru London, Frankfurt or Amsterdam and layover 1-2 days ( or more) and than it is 12 hours direct to Bangkok. Much easier on the body.
All comes down to money and time available; and of course what one likes. The balancing act that is tough is the more time/$ invested in Passport Pussy is less Pussy at home. Years ago we had better prices and much better quality than now it simply is not worth the $ for the ' product' here, no way. Luckily, I have a few on pay roll here that fuck me for $120 or less quickies so I can still get a room in every few days here ( saw one today) to fill in the gaps between the good stuff. I find the secret to eating Filet Mignon and lobster tails abroad is to when stateside simply learn to either 1) starve or 2) buy cheap peanut butter and jelly here to wet the whistle; this will finance the finer cuisines around the globe. If we 3) pay market here we get overpriced steaks/tails OR USDA Select cuts at best and reduce the total number of ' encounters' in all or the funds for overseas..
Option 2 works best for me.

Now, that doesn't apply to me as I'm not married and don't work a traditional job, but what about everyone else? Who all is going to be able to find an excuse to present to their boss and wife about why they are leaving the country for 2 weeks? What are they going to do, bring their wife with them and hope she and the kids are out on an rain forest tour while he is back at the hotel banging a native girl? It just doesn't work.
Now, if I want to go to Costa Rica or Colombia, I can leave on a Friday and come back on a Monday. Depending on what part of the country you are coming from, a flight to Costa Rica may be less than 3 hours away. You can't make a 10+ hour flight on a Friday, expect to have energy after the jet lag on Saturday, then plan to leave on Sunday for another 10 hour flight to arrive Monday for work, that's just silly. So I advocate the international route, just not to places that are as far away as Thailand. I mean if you live in Maine or maybe Boston, then a flight to Ireland is not terrible. Probably shorter than going from Seattle to Bogota.
South America is a trip I could take almost once a month if I wanted to, and I may actually wind up doing that. Even though I'm single and have no family or boss to answer to, it would still be a stretch for me to even think about committing to going to EU every other month, let alone Asia.
But yes, the domestic market has gone to total shit since covid hit. 2018 was an entirely different scene. There are still some thin and beautiful girls in this country, but expect to pay 700+ an hour to see them. Rarely do I do that anymore. I was seeing domestic providers on a regular basis when women of the same age and appearance were only 400 an hour. Times change...
