Bhirombhakdi family
The Bhirombhakdi family is a Thai family of half Chinese heritage. The family traces its roots to Phraya Bhirombhakdi (personal name Boonrawd Sreshthaputra, 1872–1950), who created the first brewery in 1933. The family still owns the Boon Rawd Brewery company, best known for its Singha beer, as well as other related enterprises. The family, lead by Boonrawd's grandson Santi, is named by Forbes as Thailand's fourteenth-richest person in 2019.
Boonrawd, the family patriarch, had three adult surviving sons: Vidya (a nephew he took as an adopted son); Prachuab (with his second wife Kim); and Chamnong (with his third wife Chimlim). He had three kids with his first wife, Khunying Lamai, although all died in infancy.
Boonrawd's elder biological son, Prachuab, succeeded him as business leader and became known as Thailand's first brewmaster. Prachuab has five children, two of whom, Piya and Santi, were closely involved. After Prachuab's death in 1993, they took over and grew the firm amid increased competition in the Thai beer sector. Later, Piya moved to develop PB Valley Khao Yai Winery, and Santi became head of family business. Santi's two sons, Bhurit and Piti, are currently active in their management.
