I had read about others upgrading from a standard room on points to a better room, using cash. The hotel provided these options (note: these are in addition to the base points redemption):

The reservation can be to upgraded from the beginning room category to higher room category as per below rate structure:
-Classic Pool Suite to Deluxe pool Suite is THB2,374.- net .or 5,625 points per room per night.

- Classic Pool Suite to Grand Pool Suite is THB4,748.- net .or 11,250 points per room per night.

-Classic Pool Suite to Tropical Pool Villa is THB9,496.- net .or 11,250 points per room per night.

-Classic Pool Suite to Ocean View Suite is THB11,870.- net or 27,375 points per room per night.
These seem excessive relative to the rate differential for fully cash stays. Has anyone had different upgrade rates presented, or success in negotiating down from these?
