It's an appropriate name. Sukhothai
means "Dawn of Happiness" and was
the first independent Thai kingdom,
founded in the 13th century.
Sukhothai Restaurant in Tampa
didn't open until a little later, but it still
represented the first giddily exotic
Asian food for a lot of us. Sure, we'd
had chow mein and egg rolls, but
aromatic curries, tom ka gai lush with
coconut milk and pad Thai with its
rice noodles and crushed peanuts
seemed all new. The restaurant's
location was no accident — world
travelers from nearby MacDill Air
Force Base represented the first
stalwart customers.
