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]
On March 31, 2022, the original Tha Phra Chan branch permanently closed after 28 years.[4] As of 2024, the chain operates approximately 116 stores in Thailand,[5] down from 145 in 2018.[1]
