Golf Quarantine
I have just read that the Thai government are going to choose a number of golf courses that can be used by people in quarantine. They will be able to play golf whilst in quarantine and use other hotel facilities. A good step forward!

Here is the article, not likely to include Hua Hin since they won't allow quarantine outside of Bangkok:
Quarantine golf courses to be named
The Public Health Ministry will next week announce the list of golf resorts that qualify as alternative state quarantine facilities.
Dr Tares Krassanairawiwong, director-general of the Department of Health Service Support (DHSS), said the golf quarantine scheme will allow golfers to spend their quarantine doing what they love.
He stressed that the golf quarantine would be limited to travellers from low-risk countries, who must also make arrangements in advance with certified golf courses, provide certificates showing they are virus-free 72 hours before travelling and have Certificates of Entry (COEs) issued by the Thai embassy in their countries.
During their 14-day quarantine, they must take three Covid-19 tests but will be allowed to both play golf and enjoy health-related activities. If they are found to have the virus, they will be treated at contracted hospitals, where they will have to pay their own medical bills.

Re: Golf Quarantine
Do not agree with this, risk is too high, if quarantine is not kept under control then it will cause problems, look at Australia as an example of this
