You've got lots of good advice here, but much of it seems rather boring, and you seem like someone searching for the fire within.
So, here you go:
Step 1) Forget you have any money at all.
Step 2) Withdraw $5000 in cash and buy a plane ticket to Pattaya. Bring only a backpack. Get a room for $15 a night. Budget about $15 a day for food, $10 a day for a motorbike, and perhaps another $20 discretionary. Your total burn rate is $60 day. One more thing -- leave your computer at home. Now that you're a multimillionaire, you can actually afford this.
Step 3) Live your life. Find things that attract you or repulse you, and make decisions around that. Maybe you hate Pattaya! No problem, take the train north to Chiang Mai, or if you feel like a true hippy, try Pai. Keep a journal if you want. Send emails from hostels, and crash there if you need.
You'll return with a new appreciation for yourself, and the world around you, and material things like a shiny new car, or a mcmansion will seem a lot more boring.
