Its first film was Suum Noi Noi, Kalon Mak Noi and it went on to produce many other films, achieving great success in both revenue and awards from various institutions. The company later jointly managed operations with GMM Pictures and Hub Ho Hin, forming a new company under the name GMM Tai Hub (GTH) after collaborating on the film Fan Chan[2].
Eventually, they separated from the joint venture and announced the dissolution of GTH on November 13, 2005, effective from December 31, 2005, marking a total of 11 years operating under the GTH name. Subsequently, a new company was established in collaboration with Mono Technology in 2006 under the name TMoment, but operations did not go as planned and the company was closed in B.E. 2019. Later, a joint venture with Major Cineplex and M Pictures was formed to establish a new company under the name Tai Major in 2020.
