Macau and Thailand totally better than anywhere in the US in term of choice, service, and safety (legally).
However, I live in the US, it is not natural to rest for 6 months, then take long exhaustin ...
I agree that u cannot abstain for 6 months (assuming the guy is single and not getting some regularly from gf or wife). The way I try to save for a trip is to limit my mongering from 2-3 times per month to once. Typically that saves me somewhere between $200 and $600 each month depending on which types of girls I am seeing. I can save enough for a ticket and a week of fun if I can behave just a little bit for 4-5 months. Along with business trips to Asia, I am averaging 4-5 trips a year, ranging from 5 days to 3 weeks.
I know I am not the norm but I am quite willing to fly to Asia for a short trip (4-7 days) multiple times a year rather than one long trip once a year. It helps to have status on an airline to get upgrades to business class or trade in miles for tix. Go to your doctor and get a prescription for some Valium and Viagra at the same time. Will make the flying and f*cking easier during a short visit. The good part is that a short trip and the hours a mongerer keeps to meet girls also means jet lag tends to be minimal on return.
I think HK/Macau/South China is feasible for short trips. Thailand is a stretch for anything less than 6/7 days due to the extra 12 hours of flying required round trip but would be cheaper than HK.
