And in Thailand, 7pm is far from late to arrive anywhere.4
I would book ahead if you've never been to Chiang Mai. Not that you'll have a problem finding a place with a room - but by the time you get to the Old Town, it will be 8pm, dark ... and your wandering around unfamiliar Soi's looking for a place. Never fun.5
If you were a cheapo backpacker looking for any 200 baht guesthouse room (which mostly don't take pre-bookings anyway) I'd say just wing it. But if you're looking for a 1000 baht semi-posh place I'd say book ahead, especially since you already know your arrival date. Try Agoda.
