Thailand’s army banned military units from making purchases on e-commerce platform Lazada following a public uproar over an advertisement that the government is now probing for alleged royal insults.

Army Chief Narongpan Jitkaewthae also ordered troops not to allow the entry of Lazada delivery vehicles inside army premises with immediate effect. While troops are still allowed to purchase goods on Lazada’s platform, they will have to take delivery outside army facilities, he told reporters on Monday.
