Are mosquitos a problem in Phuket?

We have just got back from Phuket and I have to say this was the first time in my life that mosquitoes have bitten me. I am absolutely covered in bites and so are all of our family. We took Rid from Australia (recommended on this and other forums) but we found we got bitten more when we used it!!!
