GDH 559 Co., Ltd.

GDH 559 Co., Ltd. (บริษัท จีดีเอช ห้าห้าเก้า จำกัด) is a Thai film and television production company established on 5 January 2016 as a joint venture between GMM Grammy PCL and Hub Ho Hin Bangkok Co., Ltd. The company's name carries a deliberate double meaning: the letters GDH stand for 'Gross Domestic Happiness', a playful reworking of Gross Domestic Product that the founders present as a better measure of success in filmmaking than purely commercial metrics. The number 559 echoes the founding date (5 January) and the year 2016 in the Thai Buddhist calendar (2559), and also matches the 59 shareholders — executives, film directors, actors and employees — who came together to launch the company. GDH 559 positions itself as a creator of Thai films and series that aim to match international quality while delivering smiles, laughter and positive feelings to audiences. Its stated mission is to innovate and raise the standard of Thai cinema and series, and to increase the 'gross domestic happiness' of viewers. The company's logo uses lowercase letters 'gdh' to signal that it sees itself as a small company with big dreams, with a small sprout above the letters symbolising the beginning of happiness and creativity that will grow over time. GDH 559 emerged from the Thai entertainment ecosystem around GMM Grammy, one of Thailand's largest media groups, and Hub Ho Hin Bangkok, a production outfit associated with veteran Thai filmmakers. The company produces feature films, series and related content, and its releases have been recognised at Thai industry awards such as the Thailand Box Office Awards. Its official website serves as a hub for news, articles and behind-the-scenes features about its films, including titles such as 'โกฮัง..หัวใจโกโฮม' and 'ซองแดงแต่งผี'. Beyond production, GDH 559 engages in public and cultural activities, including hosting religious ceremonies and organising blood donation drives with the Thai Red Cross. The company's leadership includes figures such as Jina Osothsilp, who has been recognised among Thailand's powerful women. GDH 559 continues to operate as an active Thai film studio and content producer, with a focus on both domestic and international audiences.

GDH 559 Co., Ltd. was founded on 5 January 2016 as a joint venture between GMM Grammy PCL, one of Thailand's largest entertainment conglomerates, and Hub Ho Hin Bangkok Co., Ltd., a production company. The company was established with 59 shareholders comprising executives, film directors, actors and employees, a number that deliberately matches the founding date (5 January) and the Thai Buddhist year 2559, giving rise to the name 'GDH 559'. The name GDH stands for 'Gross Domestic Happiness', a concept the founders adopted as an alternative to purely business-oriented measures of success. In the company's own words, this unit better reflects the combined happiness of both audiences and Thai filmmakers. The logo uses lowercase 'gdh' letters to convey that GDH is a small company with big dreams, and a small sprout above the letters symbolises the beginning of happiness and creativity that will grow. GDH 559 emerged from the Thai film and media landscape around GMM Grammy and Hub Ho Hin Bangkok. It produces feature films and series, and its releases have been recognised at Thai industry awards, including multiple wins at the Thailand Box Office Awards 2025 for the film 'ซองแดงแต่งผี' (Song Daeng Taeng Phi).
