I'll drive down to KP next week to check it out. Yes, it's still in Thailand, but trying to find clean air, nice beaches, safe region etc in south-east Asia is getting more and more difficult.
I know it's in Thailand but Songkhla is a pleasant town to do nothing much of anything

(I needed my SSA payment to arrive in order to have enough money).
I'm guessing this is money sent from the USA - as I said in a second post, most Wise problems seem to be with transactions from the USA.

Chinese companies are no different than western ones, there are good and bad - conmen, tricksters and shady dealers are an international issue.

Since last summer my Wise transfers have been taking 5 to 7 days instead of seconds
Very unacceptable
That's unfortunate, but likely due to your particular circumstances; the money's country of origin and the currency pair. Transfers from the USA seem especially prone to complications/delay

It's also end of the month, which is also a busy time. Money I sent today from Singapore with Wise took 30 minutes.

Also, citing the 1,000 km distance as if it’s a magical safety radius
Who said anything about a magical safety radius?
My point was you posted a list of earthquakes of magnitude 9.4 down to 7.7 as if there were simply comparable, which they aren't.
Then the factor of the distance from the epicentre determines, to a large extent, the chance of damage, the further away the lesser the likelihood of damage or casualties. But the underlying geology is a significant factor, in the case of Bangkok this is unconsolidated coastal marine and lagoon sediments, unconsolidated sediments serve to amplify the ground motion. Which is the reason an earthquake over 1000km away was still damaging.

I couldn't find any specific values on the USGS website: https://earthquake.usgs.govYour comparison is largely nonsensical, beyond the fact Bangkok was over 1,000km from the epicentre, the Richter scale is logarithmic, so a magnitude 9 earthquake is a 1000 times more powerful than a magnitude 7.

Community?
I thought it was just a mish-mash of odds and sods, most of whom I would never wish to encounter in real life.

12 different vaccines, really.
If there is indeed any truth in this then surely the issue is with the hospital administering that many shots at the same time.

They're cowed into submission for fear of having the social media StormTrumpers set on them and their family. For the most part they're spineless cowards, fearful of losing their place at the trough.

I said thousands, and I mean thousands.
You should check how many per year in parts of Japan, and in Taiwan....
If you really want to be impressed.
I was actually responding to your question with my own experience, not everything is about you.
