I was lucky enough to do a trip a while back with a relative that gets travel discounts and comps, and we combined budget backpacking with stays at some of the finest hotels in Thailand, including this place: https://www.sixsenses.com/resorts/yao-noi/destination
I recall that the breakfasts were sublime - they had something like 20 different varieties of ice cream, and fantastic pastries. The chef was originally from California and would talk you through the various delights on offer that morning. A fantastically peaceful, beautiful place, and an experience that's difficult to get on a budget.
