Osotspa, one of the country’s biggest producers of consumer products, traces its origins to a small traditional Chinese pharmacy called Teck Heng Yoo, which was founded by a Chinese immigrant named Pae Saelim in 1891. Pae’s name and pharmacy came into the spotlight when he donated a potion to cure upset stomach to the Wild Tiger Corps. Called Krisana Kran, this medicine was highly praised by King Rama VI himself.
The Kilen Teck Heng Yoo Museum recalls the humble beginnings of Osotspa by replicating a traditional Chinese pharmacy in the beautiful riverside compound of Lhong 1919. Visitors will learn about Chinese herbs and medicines, as well as the brand’s celebrated products, which they can buy and take back home.
