I have been very lucky to not have many problems with mosquitos on my trip. Other people would be getting bitten and I wouldn't. Or on the few occassions when I did, I just got a red dot with a white circle around it- not raised and not itchy.

That was all until I arrived on Koh Phangan.

The mosquitos here are the size of small birds and they leave raised, welty, itchy bites.

I'm not thrilled about it.
