Very highly unlikely that "native Thai" would practice it unless they are descendants from a Chinese family.

an overwhelmingly vast majority of Thais are Buddhists.

Cheers

Unlikely. Confucianism and Taoism is Chinese heredity.

I doubt it whether Confucianism is practiced anywhere in the world now, not even in China. Taoism is a branch of Buddhism and yes, it may be practiced in Thailand in the Chinese community.
I'm Thai but of course like million others, I have some Chinese blood within me. Let me tell you Confucian is mixed within the cultures of Chinese as well as Taoism that it becomes part, or ways of life that is not explicitly announced that you are one of the followers. Confucianism is just a way to keep the Chinese society in the old days in check, or in order. Taoism is a form of Buddhism said to be created by one of the Chinese monks. Oddly said that he wrote only 1,000 words bible which can be interpreted in many ways.
No, they both are not prat iced anymore, and yes, in a way they mix into lifestyle.
