Did you know that Talad Neon hosts events every now and then? One of the more fun events held lately, has been the mini zoo exhibition! Get to pose with snakes, hedgehogs, mini pigs, horses, bunnies, baby goats, sheep and so much more.

Editor’s Note: If you manage to catch the mini zoo exhibition, we would advise travellers to have fun checking out the animals – but do avoid feeding the animals (bunnies especially), as they might run the risk of overfeeding which can be potentially dangerous.

There you have it. Talad Neon offers a well-rounded night market experience filled with plenty of delicious food, shopping and fun.

No need to look out for Artbox, Talad Neon is the place to be!
