I would appreciate recommendations of places not more than 1500 - but less is obviously preferable - in or within 10 minutes of chiangrai which has a) car parking, and good wifi in the room or at least in a designated zone.

The Swan luck hotel, just over the river heading North out of the town on the main highway to Mae Sai, left at the first set of lights and left again a few hundred metres down the road. It's less than 5 mins from the centre of town. Not quite riverside but 1200b approx depending on season, with its own pool. Maybe less than 2 years old with wifi and worth the extra for pool and smart rooms.

Diamond Park Hotel - 950 Bt/night. 5 minutes walk to Night Bazaar.

Moon and Sun - near the King Meng Rai Monument, 5 minutes walk to the Hilltribe Museum and Education Center.
