Mr. Prakob Korporyajit

known as

"Grandpa Doctor"

Mr. Prakob Korporyajit, affectionately called Doctor Ah Kong
is the second-generation heir of the renowned traditional Chinese medicine
clinic Kui Lim Hueng, located on Maitri Chit Road near the heart of Yaowarat China Town

Kui Lim Hueng was founded in 1907 by Doctor Tia Po Song, a native of Shantou, who immigrated to Thailand
In its earliest days, the shop operated as a modest herbal stall selling fresh herbs and
roots on land leased from the Royal Family

Dr. Tie Po Seng

Dr. Prakob

Mr. Prakob was born in 1934 and grew up immersed in traditional Chinese medicine
He studied Chinese medicine knowledge directly from his father while also delving into classical medicine
subjects, eventually creating his own unique prescriptions

After Doctor Tia Po Song passed away from heart disease around 1955, his son, Mr. Prakob, took over the family business
In his early years of stewardship, Mr. Prakob experimented with herbal liquors, but discontinued due to high costs and instead expanded fully into Chinese herbal medicine

By 1967, he began expanding into wholesale distribution of quality Chinese herbs, including imports from China. The wholesale business flourished, building the foundation for the family’s long-standing reputation

In 2012, Mr. Prakob’s original herbal formulas were modernized using advanced extraction technology and introduced in convenient capsule form under the brand “Prachaya”, a name chosen to honor the founder, Tia Po Song

Today, the Prachaya brand has grown to include a wide variety of products such as herbal snacks, teas, shampoos

and soaps, with plans to enter convenience store markets and beyond. The vision also includes establishing a large-scale Chinese Medical Hub in Bang Yai, Nonthaburi, under the name Prachaya Kui Lim Hueng, serving as a comprehensive Traditional Chinese Medicine and wellness center, carrying forward the family’s wisdom

Now 93 years old, Mr. Prakob—Doctor Ah Kong—still carefully diagnoses patients through pulse reading and medical history consultations at Kui Lim Hueng Clinic. He is joined by the fourth-generation successor, his granddaughter Dr. Panicha Worapornchai (Doctor Hui), who continues the clinic and pharmacy operations

Under her leadership, services have expanded to include acupuncture clinics, modernized management systems, and broader communication channels through social media to help more people understand and access traditional Chinese medicine.

With a heritage spanning over a century, Kui Lim Hueng remains committed to evolving as a Center of Sustainable Healthcare through Natural Wisdom—trusted both locally and regionally. Its mission is to heal and restore health with the combined arts of Chinese and Thai traditional medicine built upon the LINSP Core Model: the power of nature, integrity, timeless wisdom, personalized care, and sustainable living. The goal is for everyone not only to live longer but to live well—with vitality, balance, and lasting harmony
