Kinokuniya brings in paper book covers

Today, many businesses in Thailand have started to take action against climate change and pollution by banning single use plastic.
Kinokuniya, Bangkok’s favourite bookstore, is the most recent organisation to jump on this green movement. A week ago, the store announced that they would no longer provide plastic covers for costumers. Instead, they’ll use Japanese-style paper to wrap books once they’ve been purchased.

The covers are available in 2 sizes, small and medium. The store will wrap your books according to these options.
For online shoppers, you can easily tick the box for paper wrapping when you’re on the checkout page.
