Whilst I support hedonism I think minimalism can also be good sometimes.

Even my friends who live in Pattaya practice minimalism to some extent.

For example, they might go out to the bars and go whoring for a night, then they have a few days off and take it easy, just go to the beach and hang around at shopping centres, drink coffee etc.

I really can't do that, I am usually just full on. I've been told by some other ex-pats "you need to pace yourself" and even some bar girls told me I am "a bit wild" but they said I am kind to them.

Getting drunk every now and then is fun but I can imagine that being an alcoholic is not.
