Say guys going to Phrae on Thursday, any suggestions on the most scenic route to take from Chiang Mai.

Yep, if you go via Payoh and then to Song you can check out the prehistoric wall painting just before Payoh, after that it's a pretty good road with views across the valleys, you could even drop into the "brick house " restuarant which is on the way to Song, call into Rong Kwan & head down to see the "woman and baby" cave....they've got deer down there as well and great views from the top of the stairs. Make sure you get the custodian to turn on the power for you so that you can appreciate the interior light show!
