The first leg of our trip took us to the Tampa Bay area where our wedding would take place. We flew in three days pre-wedding and had dinner at Chiang Mai Thai in St Petersburg on our first night there, a place I had randomly discovered while searching for food options online. Located right in the heart of downtown St Petersburg near the Tropicana Field, Chiang Mai Thai is a pretty casual eatery serving standard Thai fare.
As per usual, I got curry: the Duck in Pineapple Curry, with pineapples, bamboo shoots, and various veggies. The duck was prepared a little differently than usual as it was fried, which was good. R. got a yellow curry that he enjoyed as well.

Since we both love Mango Sticky Rice, we decided to split one for dessert.

I enjoyed Chiang Mai Thai, though I don't think it quite compares to some of the best Thai restaurants I've been to back home in Pittsburgh. Still, it was a nice way to start off our time in Florida.
