The family was founded by Luan Vongvanij, a Hainanese immigrant who settled in Siam in 1903 at the age of twelve. In 1928, he acquired the British Dispensary, a pharmaceutical company which continues to be owned by the family. The company passed onto his sons Boonchit and Boonyong in 1963 and from Boonyong to his son Anurut in 1993.
