The showcase simulates three exhibition halls of the pavilion "Journey of Harmony; Harmony of Difference Tones and Harmony of Thais."

Issara Somchai, minister of Social Development and Human Security of Thailand, said his ministry is taking a proactive approach by launching the publicity campaign that will tell the Thai public more about the significance of world expos as well as inform them of Thai's current Expo participation.

The pavilion will cover 3,117 square meters and its theme is "Thainess: Sustainable Ways of Life."
