Sometimes I feel like I'm in the wrong forum.
I experience few if any problems in Thailand. I have companies and work permit and yellow tabien baan and pink ID card - everything is fairly straight forward. I do have lawyers to help with things when needed, but these kind of services are easily available. I have an outstanding quality of life and do ok.
2-week tourists should also have minimal hassles, apart from typical tourist scams.
So, who are all the whiners? Long stay tourists?
If you can't find decent rent, reasonable insurance (or not), cheap food and fun, and enjoy life in Thailand...then try Vietnam of the Philippines - you will enjoy it for a while...but you'll be back.
Personally, I enjoy it with fewer people around...
