TLDR : Answer Summary
Thai citizens returning from abroad cannot quarantine at home even if they live alone. They are required to undergo state-paid quarantine or pay for alternative state quarantine facilities.

 She needs to arrange an ASQ or SQ before she's even issued the COE to return.

 That problem is not unique to Thais. I look at all the foreigners who don't wear a mask, or pull it below their nose, and I understand why some Thais don't want us here.
