The Quest for a Record-Breaking Kiss
In February 2011, a couple participated in a unique competition at a shopping mall in Pattaya, Thailand, attempting to break the world record for the longest kiss. The original record of 32 hours and 7 minutes set a daunting challenge, fueling their motivation to win substantial prizes, including a diamond ring and 50,000 Thai baht. The competition required strict adherence to several rules: the kiss had to be continuous, the couple had to remain awake, and no aids could be used for support. Despite facing fatigue and physical challenges, including balancing during restroom breaks, Ekachai and Laksana pushed through, eventually achieving a staggering record of 46 hours and 24 minutes.
