Chaperones

Dear Hillary,

I would like to invite one of the girls from my work to go to dinner, but I am unsure of the way to go about it in Thailand.  She is very reserved, and I am told she comes from a “good” family.  Should I offer to have someone as a chaperone?  Or is this not necessary these days?

Dear Andrew,

Goodness me!  There are some old-style gentlemen left in this world!  Honestly, my Petal, most educated Thai women are quite emancipated these days, but if you want to be very politically correct, I would suggest you just ask her if she would have dinner with you next Thursday night, and if she would like to bring a friend, that is quite alright by you.  If she turns you down, I will keep Thursday night free, as long as there is French champagne on the menu!
