That's not a bed. That's a buffet table for mosquitos.

Shows how much you get out of the United States there’s no way that isn’t covered with mosquito netting

But... There's none in the pic.

You don't put them on during day.

[–] CMDR_Horn@lemmy.world 25 points 6 days ago

That way the mosquitos can sleep.

You think mosquitos give a shit about the time of day?

[–] smeenz@lemmy.nz 9 points 5 days ago

Yes, they tend not to come out in the heat, and turn up by the thousands as dusk arrives.

Depends on the species.

I suppose there are day mosquitos as well, but most come during the evening and night.

This'll need bottles of anti-bug lotion and protective clothing at the very least, and then night comes you'll have to set up mosquito netting besides electric zappers.

Your hotel room seems to be missing some walls.

Wow, obvious to me some people haven't been camping before, that or were miserable the entire time. That looks pretty freaking awesome!

It does, but I was immediately thinking that mattress would be soaked as soon as it rained or they have water coming on deck

[–] Gerudo@lemmy.zip 25 points 6 days ago

There's no way that doesn't smell musty.

[–] flop_leash_973@lemmy.world 11 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Are mosquitoes a concern in that part of the world? If so and they don't have some nets hiding somewhere you are gonna have a bad time.

[–] Quilotoa@lemmy.ca 9 points 6 days ago

We had a mosquito net for night, but they weren't bad. I was surprised.

[–] parentesis@lemmy.world 5 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

I just did this 3 weeks ago. They give you mosquito nets for the night, and they weren’t that bad anyway. The trip is worth.
