In 2016, he became key person for GDH 559 a film studio that successor to GTH.
He was also behind the hit 2003 film, Fan Chan (My Girl), a nostalgic look at childhood in 1980s Thailand. The film's ensemble of six directors – Komgrit Treewimol, Songyos Sugmakanan, Nithiwat Tharathorn, Vijja Kojew, Vithaya Thongyuyong and Adisorn Tresirikasem – were students of Jira, who taught as a part-time professor in photography and cinematography classes at Chulalongkorn University. Two of those directors, Komgrit and Songyos, went on to direct hit films, Komgrit helming the romantic comedy Dear Dakanda in 2005 and Songyos with the hit 2006 thriller Dek hor (Dorm).
Jira's second directorial effort, The Tin Mine was a lavish production about a tin mine in southern Thailand in the 1950s. It was based on the short stories of Thai author Archin Panjabhan, who served as an adviser on the production. The film fared poorly at the Thai box office, but it has won several awards and has been featured at international film festivals. He won as best director and best screenplay in the 2002 Thailand National Film Awards for Mekhong Full Moon Party. Edit Biography
