I've heard, but don't know first-hand, that Thai Buddhist fishermen will leave the fish on dry ground until it dies of natural causes in order to leave themselves some wiggle-room for the first precept. I doubt that story is brimming with truth, though. And for a country that's overwhelmingly Buddhist in name and tradition, there's no lack of beef or pork in the restaurants. Supply-and-demand.
