Crazy miles upgrade pricing?

Hi,

I have done a search but haven't been able to find any other discussion on this topic. I could be wrong but in reading the Thai ROP handbook is my thinking below correct:

MEL-BKK-MEL in Business Redemption: 98,000 miles + 15,000 Baht
MEL-BKK-MEL buy cheapest economy and upgrade to business: Original Economy Fare + 112,000 miles + 3000 Baht (fuel surcharge difference)

If this is correct it seems crazy 98,000 miles for an outright redemption ticket or 112,000 miles for an upgrade on an existing ticket.

Someone please tell me I am reading this wrong or are Thai just as mad as I think they are?
