From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Naiin (Thai: ร้านนายอินทร์) is a Thai bookstore chain operated by Amarin Book Center, a subsidiary of the Amarin Group. The subsidiary was founded in 1993 by Chukiat Utakapan and initially focused on distributing publications from freelance writers, external publishers, and its parent company.[1] In 1994, it entered the retail market with the opening of its first physical store at Tha Phra Chan in Bangkok.[2] By 2012, Naiin was described by the Bangkok Post as one of the country's two largest bookstore chains.[3]
