Traditional Hunting In Thailand

[NBD]

After a few years here it struck me that I've never really seen any evidence of hunting or trapping here in Thailand. I know there is some illegal poaching and big game hunting with rifles etc and some running around rice paddies for rats and frogs, but surely traditionally people must have eaten deer, wild boar and all the other beasts of the forest. I'm especially thinking of Kanchanaburi and Chaiyaphum as I know both quite well ane although miles apart both have big wild forest areas. But interested in hearing about other areas as well.

Does anyone know much about how people went hunting traditionally in rural Thailand? What did they hunt? How? For leisure or strictly to eat? Does it still go on? And am I right to thino pretty much all wild game hunting is now illegal? Why and since when?

I'm not about to go charging around shooting at wildlife and don't want to get into a debate about the rights and wrongs of hunting. Simply interested in what is an important aspect of most cultures that I know nothing about in Thailand.
