...SUNSET STROLL The small island of Ko Kred, about 10 km north of Bangkok, makes for a wonderful escape from the oppressive crush of the city's streets. The lush island is known for the fine quality of its clay and its skilled artisans who craft intricately decorated pottery as well as the more utilitarian red flowerpots seen all over Bangkok. The concrete path that circles the 1,000 hectare island can be walked in about an hour and a half.

During the Middle Ages the 142 m steeple was Europe's tallest, and it still soars above the surrounding townhouses like a skyscraper.

On a recent episode, confident coquette Pamela met Tony, an electronics salesman with a knack for skirt-chasing. The two began the date with a long stroll on the beach, where Pamela dropped her robe and revealed a strapless two-piece bathing suit and an even tan. Feeling patriotic, Pam suggested they gather rocks and paint them red, white and blue to honor the devoted beach firemen. After a commercial break, Pamela downed too much bubbly...
