For the vast majority and for the vast majority of the time they certainly are. And this hasn’t played out to any real or demonstrable sanction yet either. There are long odds against this ultimately happening in this case too when examining precedent.
Up until last year I’d forsaken Phuket in favour of Ko Lanta. However with Covid still prominent I figured Lanta would be completely dead this time last year and went to Phuket which proved wise (cheap and un crowded). I reckoned Lanta would still be lacking this year so plumped for Phuket one more time… If anyone has recent reports of Lanta I’d be interested to hear although too late for me to change now given I leave for Phuket tomorrow .
The only thing I’d say about roofing with that incorporated insulation from our experience is that the heat eventually breaks down the glue and the insulation falls messily off. Also birds pick at any breakdown to make nests. Subsequently we just used good non insulated roofing and specified WHITE to ensure heat/sun reflection.
There’s an arrest warrant issued by ICC against Putin for war crimes . Given I’ve had to pay double for my accommodation in Phuket next week vs last year he should be made to appear at The Hague for that alone ! ????
