In the country, there are all kinds of interesting insects, all of which will happily ignore you.
You’ll encounter:
1) mosquitoes which will give you annoying bites. they can easily be driven away by repellents and vaporisers and2) big cockroaches which will not hurt you, but they will carry off your backpack.

Don’t bring a bugnet. I would risk stating that everywhere you stay would have mosquito netting either on the windows or over the beds. Lugging a mosquito net around with you is a major ballache.
Thailand is a relatively low risk malaria area anyway and if you are sensible with repellent you should be fine.
