TLDR : Answer Summary
Yes, Thai nationals are required to undergo quarantine upon returning to Thailand on repatriation flights. They can choose between free quarantine facilities provided by the state or pay for an alternative state quarantine hotel. Allocations can vary, and while there may be options in Pattaya, most quarantine facilities are located in Bangkok.

Thais can either choose free quarantine provided by the state (paid for by taxpayers), in which case they will be sent wherever there is space, or book a hotel under the alternative state quarantine scheme (and pay the same price as foreigners). I think there is only one in Pattaya. Most are in Bangkok.

will probably be bangkok but makes no difference anyway as she won't be allowed to leave the hotel and won't be allowed to have guests

Luck of the draw really. People on the same flight might be quarantined within the same city but at different hotels. Embassy staff should be able to tell you upon checkin.

I’m speaking from experience. I left Sydney for Thailand on a repatriation flight (as I’m half Thai) in May and I was told by Thai embassy staff upon checkin in Sydney which hotel I was going to put up in. Ended up being Ambassador Hotel in Jomtien. However, it’s possible the process might’ve changed over the past 6 months
