Chiang Mai perhaps more than any area in Thailand is an area to explore and not hole up in a resort. If your adventuresome at all and going in low season, then you just show up and don't book anything. When you feel like changing accommodations, you just go. End up tired or drunk in Laos and need to stay the night? Just pay for your room in Thailand and in Laos and you still are out cheaper than a single night at a motel back home.
A sleeper train from Bangkok to Chiang Mai was about $20. You can grab a bottle of SangSom rum at the railway station for a few dollars, jump on the train in the afternoon, drink some with tourists from all over the world, fall asleep in your bed, and wake up Chiang Mai in the morning. It cost you nothing for accommodation for the night, and you got half way across the country to the jungle for $20.

This isn't fully correct. The Golden Triangle is the confluence of all regions at the common border of Myanmar, Laos, and Thailand. Chiang Rai is only a small part of it.
To get to the Golden Triangle, Chiang Mai is the usual entrance to the North of Thailand. Chiang Rai is couple hour scooter ride down the rode.
The typical triangular motorcycle route within Thailand is Chiang Mai to Pai to Chiang Rai.
Also - for whatever reason, Chiang Mai was the only area in the country where I experienced a lot of scammers. Granted the tuk tuk scam isn't the worst. They'll drive you around the city, take you to an umbrella factory or something, and maybe you'll get a custom silk shirt for $20. All told, maybe $25-30 for the "scam."

Instead there's more experiences where you walk with elephants from where they rest to where they feed, bathing and washing elephants in the river etc. Companies have rebranded themselves as eco-retreats and elephant havens/sanctuaries.

I'm not sure if this is still the case but you could just show up and find a hostel and book for however many nights, sometimes just re-upping night by night. Then when you felt like it you could leave and grab a cheap bus to somewhere like Pai and do the same there.
Of course they had even nicer rooms you could get as hoc even as an older couple, would see plenty in guest houses paying like $20-30 and getting private bathrooms as well. I'm sure inflation has bumped these costs up but it's still better than resort pricing.
Being older now I'd still go for hostels with the premium rooms over resorts. The hole in wall/street food places are cheaper, so much better, and safe. The freedom to essentially go wherever whenever makes Thailand one of the easiest places I've ever traveled within.

In Railay, $20 fan room and $50 resort built into the side of a mountain.
In Koh Phagan, $20 for a whole fan bungalow on the white sand beach next to the tree house bar.
In Koh Phi Phi, it was the most expensive place, but I got a whole fan bungalow for $20 a night. I had to hike pretty high up the mountain to it though, and I was in pretty badly in the throes of food poisoning at that point. HINT: If you get diarrhea just immediately go to the pharmacy with no prescription, and they'll give you an antiparasitic.
If you go in low season, everything is cheap and no accommodations must be planned anywhere. If you are in to night clubs you'll be disappointed in low season except in the Koh Phangnan full moon parties. If you go in high season, everything costs double to triple and small islands can book out all reservation.
