Parrot Botanicals

Parrot Botanicals (Thai: สบู่หอมนกแก้ว, literally 'Parrot Fragrant Soap') is a long-established Thai soap brand. According to Thai Wikipedia, the soap was first made in 1947 (พ.ศ. 2490), with its formula devised by Walter Leo Meyer, who served as chairman of Berli Jucker Public Company Limited. The brand was initially manufactured under the name of Rubia Industries (บริษัท รูเบียอุตสาหกรรม), with a factory located in Soi Rubia, Khlong Toei district, Bangkok. Berli Jucker Public Company Limited acts as the distributor. When it was first sold, a bar cost 3 baht. The product is known for its hard texture and its distinctive fragrance, which uses perfume concentrate imported from France. The most popular colour is green, and the range has since expanded to include jasmine (จำปี) and many other scents. The brand is part of Thailand's modern consumer-goods heritage, having been sold for decades through Thai retail channels under the Berli Jucker umbrella. As a brand, Parrot Botanicals sits within Berli Jucker's consumer portfolio. Berli Jucker is a major Thai conglomerate listed on the Stock Exchange of Thailand (ticker BJC), and the soap brand benefits from that distribution and retail network. The brand's official web presence is at parrotnatural.com. The available evidence is limited to Thai-language sources and a Wikidata entry describing it as a 'Thai band of soap' (a mistranslation of 'brand of soap'), so some details of ownership history, current product range and market reach remain to be confirmed.

Parrot Botanicals, known in Thai as สบู่หอมนกแก้ว, is a Thai soap brand whose origins date to 1947 (พ.ศ. 2490).

The soap was first produced under the name of Rubia Industries (บริษัท รูเบียอุตสาหกรรม), with its factory located in Soi Rubia, Khlong Toei district, Bangkok. Berli Jucker Public Company Limited served as the distributor, and the soap was initially sold at 3 baht per bar. The product is characterised by a hard texture and a distinctive fragrance made with perfume concentrate imported from France. The most popular colour is green, and over time the range expanded to include jasmine (จำปี) and many other scents. The brand has remained in the Thai market as a heritage soap offering under Berli Jucker's consumer-goods business. Because the available evidence is limited to Thai-language sources and a Wikidata entry, the full corporate history — including changes in manufacturing arrangements, ownership transfers, and the current product line — is not fully documented here. What is clear is that the brand has been associated with Berli Jucker for much of its existence and that it is one of Thailand's older packaged soap brands.
