Hi, I am newbie just started learning to play acoustic guitar. Strings on my Kapok WG-811 need to be replaced, what string thickness should I get?

Depend on your preference. Nylon string abit friendly to finger. But sound abit muted.
Steel string is common one.

D'addario EJ26

Can't find any info on this guitar, the closest I can find is MG-811, looks like a classical guitar strung with steel strings.

If it comes with steel string, and you feel that it's hard to play, you can try with 11's (custom light gauge) or 10's (extra light gauge), but keep in mind the lighter the gauge the less tension there is the floppier the strings get, you will have a lot of buzzing.

Or change it to nylon string as suggested. But nylon string are generally classify by tension.

If it comes with steel string ,better use steel string, if change to nylon it will have different tension to the guitar, your guitar neck will not be straight.

The common is 011, 012 for string thickness. For beginner I recommend 011.
