TLDR : Answer Summary
An expat is seeking recommendations for gated communities in Chiang Mai, specifically in areas like Mae Rim, Han Dong, Sansai, San Kamphaeng, and Kad Farang, with a preference for locations that offer convenient access to the city. One comment suggests not to rush into a decision and instead rent in multiple locations over several years to better understand the area and its communities.
Shayne **********
Don't lock in one place to quickly!

Take 2 years to rent in 4-6 locations around the city. You will learn the pros and cons of each. If you find a location perfect, if not, use another year. You need to find out what groups and people you like and places you enjoy to spend your time. Driving a car in certain locations causes grief and heartache, but is essential in others. Give me the 100k you save on buying a second house in a better location than the first as a thank you.
