Pattaya Thailand: A Thai couple has created a new record for the longest kissing, by locking lips for 46 hours and 24 minutes.
The Guinness World Records have not verified the latest show to make official.
Husband and wife team Ekkachai and Laksana Tiranarat took part along with 13 other couples in Pattaya.
The pair won a diamond ring worth 50,000 baht (£1,016) and a 100,000 baht (£2,032) cash prize.
The couple began smooching at 0600 local time Sunday, and were announced the winners just before dawn on Tuesday (Feb.15).
Contestants had to be either married or a serious couple, with a marriage certificate or letter from both parents required as proof.
They were allowed to eat, drink and use the lavatory, provided they did not break their embrace.
No sitting or sleeping was permitted; and one woman fainted just half an hour into the competition.
“We want to show that love is meaningful and powerful,” said organiser Somporn Naksuetrong.
“It’s not easy to stand there and kiss that long. They really have to help and support each other.”
The previous record for the longest continuous kiss was just over 32 hours was set in 2009 by a couple in Germany.
