WISE transfer delays

After months of delayed transfers using WISE for UK/Thailand, I used Wise on Thursday to transfer my pittance State Pension and was pleased that it arrived here a few minutes after the instruction was sent - the first time it has happened that way in many months.
 
My transfers with Wise from the UK to Thailand usually arrive in seconds.
Last week I sent one, and they said it would take 17 minutes to arrive,
It arrived exactly 17 minutes later.:)
 
My transfers into Thailand have always been to the Bangkok Bank. They arrived seconds after being sent by WISE until last year when they started taking several days. WISE always blamed the receiving bank for delays, but were able to forecast the arrival time here to the minute as soon as the transfer instructions were sent. How the hell could WISE know that several days in advance?

It will be interesting to see if last Thursday's swift transfer is replicated next month.
