Thinking over, I realised that we saw way more Wat (temples) that most would mind to see, I just try to share some of the more memorable one.
Wat Mai (or Wat May Souvanhnaphoumaram) was the most beautiful of all the Wats we saw in Luang Prabang. It is on the main street of the downtown, and by the street might not look too special for the first sight. But better you have another look! You don't want to miss out on this one! So much, like I didn't have a decent photo of the whole building to show.
For start, the temple's walls by outside by the entrance fully gold plated, they look amazing. I haven't seen anything like this before. But this is not everything!
They have a copy of the Emerald Buddha ( the one from Thailand's Wat Phra Kaew) that you can actually see from really near by, and even photo, unlike the one in Thailand. Inside from around head height to ceiling the walls are covered with small golden Buddha 'amulets', little Buddha images; probably there is a few thousands of them.
Same like before, let the photos talk rather. Enjoy.

Those gold plated walls! Splendid!!
So, I think it was probably the best thing you saw in your trip ;)
It was unique, for sure, and maybe the best. But there was many great things I saw, and liked. There is more to come :)
