The Royal Thai Army is boycotting Lazada following an advertisement deemed offensive to Thailand’s monarchy, which disappeared from TikTok shortly after it was uploaded last week. Thailand’s Army Chief has banned e-commerce giant Lazada from delivering packages into army premises, but says that soldiers still have the freedom to buy products from Lazada if they so wish, so long as they pick up their packages outside army premises. Last week, Lazada and two influencers were thrown into the fire for an advertising campaign deemed offensive to disabled people. Royalists said the video mocked a member of the royal family, HRH […]

Does Lazada do their own deliveries? Everything we have received is delivered by 3rd party couriers. Or is that just a rural thing?

If not, then seems a waste of energy preventing or hindering those just simply doing work. Have a go at Lazada if they want, but really, it seems quite unnecessary and somewhat petty interfering with Thais just delivering parcels for a living.

I mostly receive goods from Lazada through their LEX (Lazada Express) delivery company. Sometimes from Flash (I avoid it as much as possible, worst service ever), more rarely from J&T or Kerry. Maybe is location-dependent

I'm not sure if the delivery trucks and motorcycles belong to Lazada but I have seen them emblazoned with the Lazada logos and liveries. I have seen some of them before albeit rarely and it seems that Lazada worked with a 3rd party courier LEL Express to have their logos on those vehicles.

I think these are the ones being targeted right now:

I don’t have problems with this. They’re not a Thai company and are owned by the Chinese. I had a lot of trouble with orders from them and misinformation about my orders so went to dealing with Singapore based Shopee and have had no problems.

Shopee is also owned by a Chinese albeit a Singapore naturalized one.

I am so confused.  I never saw the add so to me thinking that one of the actors is playing Her Royal Rajesty seems a bit far fetched.

Did they say in the advertisement that it was HRM or is this a hate campaign again Lazada ( in that case stick to facts and ban them for selling counterfeit products =do a search for known big brands cordless drills and there is no drill original)
