Is there a legitimate way to make a meaningful amount of money online that does not involve speaking?
If something doesn't require any skills you are competing for it with people from third world countries where 5$ a day is a good income, so your income would be lower than that.

Border Run: do we really have to make it all the way to Laos?
Some IOs at airports make problems when people enter repeatedly with visa exempts, because in their personal opinion these people stayed too long in Thailand. If you get denied they send you back where you came from. At most land borders you can be certain to have no problems. Also not everybody lives close to an airport with international flights, and thus a land border crossing might be easier and cheaper.

Electricity Bill in my name for GF's house
This is mostly the case, but not always. The bills can be in the name of somebody else. I know for a fact that my girlfriend's home is owned by her grandfather, but the bills are in her mom's name. Can definitely be changed, just go to the local PEA office. It could of course happen that you run into problems due to being a foreigner, but for a Thai it would definitely be no problem.

Gated communities with 4 bedroom houses in Chiang Mai
They are allowed to enter, how it's handled exactly depends on the moobaan. In my current moobaan security takes a picture of their ID card and vehicle when they enter and notes to which house they go. Occasionally they ask the rider to have a look on their app to see the destination, or might even follow the rider to the house to make sure everything is ok.

Gated communities with 4 bedroom houses in Chiang Mai
Thanks for all the replies, I look it up and see what I can find there. It's mainly the added layer of security, we are not always at home. With children it's also better to be able to take a stroll right from home, without all the hazards from traffic or soi dogs. Having a communal swimming pool is also nice to have, a private one is overkill.

Gated communities with 4 bedroom houses in Chiang Mai
I'm currently looking for a 4 bedroom house for rent in Chiang Mai, in a gated community, but I get the impression that nearly all of such houses have only 3 bedrooms. Are there any gated communities offering 4 bedroom houses, if so what's their name? Then I could ask there directly.

Proof of payment for accommodation for the whole period of stay in Thailand
Then you could transfer some money to your friend and he could issue you a receipt for your payment.

Proof of payment for accommodation for the whole period of stay in Thailand
Agoda (other platforms probably the same) keeps the money until you actually stay at the property, only on this day, or maybe even later, the money gets released to the property. Thus a hotel wouldn't issue you a payment receipt beforehand, because they didn't get the money yet.
