What if I told you we are standing in front of the birthplace of pharmacy education in all of Thailand? This is the esteemed Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences, a place where history and innovation intertwine. Founded in 1913 by the visionary Prince Rangsit Prayurasakdi, it began as a humble department in the Royal Medical College. Imagine, back then it was referred to as “Rong Rean Prung Ya,” meaning “School of Compounding Medicine.” As Chulalongkorn University was established, the faculty found its new home within its walls. The Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences has since evolved from a small department to a renowned institution boasting bachelor’s, master’s, and even PhD programs. Its legacy is etched in the very fabric of Thai healthcare. Today, the Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences stands as a testament to a century of progress. It has nurtured generations of pharmacists and researchers who have shaped the landscape of medicine in Thailand. Their contributions resonate not just within these walls, but across the nation, making a difference in countless lives.
