One of the times I most often have had problems is sitting at an outdoor cafe. I have learned to carry repellent in my hand bag and spray my feet. I am a woman, and there's no way I'm going to wear socks with my sandals. Not sure in the heat if a man would really want to either. I can't use DEET, but I found a natural repellent that Consumer Reports said works, and it does. It is called Lemon Eucalyptus and is available at REI.

One thing I learned in my last trip though is that you can ask at any restaurant with outdoor dining, even the homestyle ones, if they have a mosquito coil to put under your or near your table. That helps you to dine in comfort without wondering if the varmints are finding a thin spot on your clothing or just holding their little noses and biting anyway. Unlike American mosquitoes which you can hear whining if they get near your ears, Asian mosquitoes have perfected the art of stealth. They don't whine so you don't know if one is buzzing around your head.
