I've spent a bit of time camping in S.E. Asia for work (in Sabah, Kalimantan and Cambodia) and I can't think of a single time we've used a tent. Normal procedure is to buy a cheap hammock, tarpaulin and some twine in a local market and then set the hammock up underneath the tarpaulin for sleeping. Most of the time I've done this we've been in rainforest areas and so there isn't a shortage of trees to sling the hammock but I guess it's a consideration. If you are buying in the UK you can get really nice lightweight hammocks with with built in flysheet. I'm not sure if it's the right option for you but it might be worth a thought.
