Roof Venting In Thailand

[IraqRon]

I rarely see adequate roof venting on houses in Thailand. Too me its a no brainer, but why not here? Have any of you experience with reto fitting ridge vents or some other system to get the hot air out? I am even considering installing an attic/house fan. Any reasons not to?

The Thais don't like to make holes in the roof as this is an area for a leak.

There are products being offered now at the various supply stores that can provide venting if designed into the roof plan as well as some after market things.

Several of the building forums talk about these things and if you visit a larger HomeMart store as an example you can even see displays of ridge vents for a CPAC Monier tile roof
