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

Struth but you need help.

Can't be serious, April 1st ??

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.

Thousands.

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.
