Photospheric thermal radiation components from gamma-ray burst (GRB) jets are estimated based on relativistic hydrodynamic simulations of jet propagation. The light curves and spectra are derived, considering viewing angle effects. The light curves exhibit several seconds time variability and the luminosity is as large as that of GRB prompt emission. For observers at a viewing angle of several degrees the spectra below the peak energy are much softer than that of Planck distribution and close to typical GRB spectrum. Whereas the spectra for observers at small viewing angle are hard and close to Planck distribution. Numerical Amati and Yonetoku relations are reproduced.
