The biggest problem with Realestate in Thailand is maintenance. They don't maintain the complexes even though you pay a yearly fee. I've seen some places only 5 years old that look so bad. Better to just rent and switch to newer nicer place. BUT buying is nice because you can have the furniture you want and don't have to deal with crappy landlords.

In South East Asia they don't understand "maintaining". It's like renting a scooter. If it breaks, it gets fixed. Otherwise,..... 🙈

Obviously depends whether you can get a mortgage or not, but one big, and obvious difference, is that you dont build equity when renting. You should in theory recoup a lot of your money when you sell. I get thats obvious, but i sometimes like to state the obvious

I would definitely choose the second house, just north of the center of Chiang Mai, and which can be made modern for not too much money. The last house is very nice, but too far from the city, and I don't like this way of putting very big houses on so little land. On the land, they should have built only 4 houses, not 9!
