Is it hard to find vegetarian food in Thailand?

What should I be cautious of? Do they ever use lard/ animal fat to cook/fry things? Thanks so much!

Not at all they use so many veggies that going meatless is easy, and thailand is soo touristy that there are lots of veggie places, but if you know alittle of the language or know a thai any place would love to give you anything you want any way you like it ( ps if you dont know a thai- lots of people in the industry speak english so its really not that hard)
btw in my experience they dont use lard to cook thats just western countries most asian places cook only with oil-corn sunflower and a million other kinds, no animal oils that Im aware of)
