  > You have a pile of saving and a severance package.

  You might also have a family whose food, shelter, education and medical care still need to be paid for. And even if you're a single person in your twenties, you might want to use that pile of savings for your retirement (or to buy a home in the future) instead of impulsively blowing it on a wild trip.

  Alternatively, work at defining the next step of your career. Work no more than 6 hours per day on this, you are likely stressed, include rest in your cycle.

  Network extensively, habitually.

  >Just book a flight to Bangkok bro are you kidding me? Go have a beer

  First of all Chiang Mai is better and secondly this one-size-fits-all advise is not going to help most people get back on their feet.
