Having a more accurate tape measure is not egg on face, it is progress. And, just BTW, in a vacuum, all forms of light travel at the same speed. Red and blue shifting is not a function of the speed of the photons, rather the compression of the waveform by the movement of the source, or the medium the light is traveling through.
The only thing that has changed regarding the speed of light is our ability to measure it more and more accurately. Even if the dubious source you quote were correct, 20km/h is a 0.00667% change. Do you want to be taken seriously by suggesting that it would be significant?
If you are sending to Bangkok bank you have two options.
The original direct deposit method for SS to Thailand was through Bangkok bank's New York office and the receiving account had extra restrictions on accessing the funds on deposit. Withdrawals from this account could only be done in person by the account holder.
A few years ago SS created another direct deposit method (IDD) that could utilize a regular savings account at most Thai banks. The funds in these accounts can normally be accessed the same as most savings accounts.
The two methods use different exchange rates and fee structures. A member of AN compared the two methods and posted which one is best based on the amounts transferred. Read the posts by @Pib on the first page of this thread:

Perhaps, however the best way to proceed would be to just dump the bags and leave without them if he was running a scam.
No way a smuggler would ever call the cops, they would just run.
When watching documentaries about this sort of thing in the past the luggage is usually handed over to them just before they leave and they are supervised exiting the country, perhaps with someone else following on the same flight.
So it doesn't add up - maybe everyone involved here at each level of the scheme is an idiot - I wouldn't rule that out at all.
