Sunday Markets are called also called Walking Street Markets and are on late afternoon until late evening. They are located on Thapae Road in the Old Town and start by Thapae Gate and go for about 500 metres into the Old Town. Great Shopping ! I think better than the Night Bazaar.
Good accommodation with pool in Chiang Mai is Manathai a boutique hotel close to all the action and Lotus Suan Kaew part a large shopping centre 10 mins from City Centre....has a 50 metre pool. I can recommend both these as I have stay there.
Good accommodation or food for that matter in Chiang Rai was something I never found so good luck there!
Good sights in Chiang Mai...Doi Suthep, Doi Pui and Doi Inthanon National Park
Good sights in Chiang Rai...ride on longtail to Mae Nam Kok to Elephant Camp you can ride elephant in river! One day trip to Golden Triangle , Laos and shopping in Burma at Mae Sai and visit to Long Neck village.
There is excellent VIP Bus from Chiang Mai to Chiang Rai....takes about 3 1/2 hours has aircraft chairs and movies....might be better and cheaper alternative to car hire.
Cheers
