The Sunday Walking Street market is setting up all day, but really gets going around dusk and gets more and more crowded and busy after dark. We found it much more interesting and thought the stuff for sale was nicer than at the night market (the every night one).
You will love Yui for cooking.

Doi Suthep, Phuping Palace and Doi Pui is close to a 6 hour journey in itself, assuming you do more than stop the car and snap photos. I would scrap the visit to Mae Sa and move the Doi Suthep trip to Thursday morning.
The Sunday market gets going around 5:30 or 6:00 pm.

Having gone to many of the Wats and temples and outdoor attractions on 2 visits to CM I think you may find that on one trip it is too much of the same. The snake show/farm and flower nirsery are not very interesting , in my opinion. Folks are right about the market. We found the best time to go was about 5 when it was a little cooler and 98% of vendors out and by 7:30 you will be ready for dinner.
