Stay somewhere short term till you decide what view or altitude fits you best. Rent a car or take the local buses to get you around and do some exploring. Prices can be all over the place for rentals in the interior.
I'm definitely not looking for a gated community cum expat enclave. IMHO it would isolate me from one of the primary reasons I'm an expat .. the local people.

Over the past 12 years I have been living in "middle class" Thai style houses, apartments and condos. Location and neighborhood / community are much more important to me than "status".

All my Thai friends live in better houses than I have, but none of them live in such nice surroundings.
