PATTAYA, Thailand - It was one long kiss — one world-breaking embrace for mankind. Seven determined couples locked lips for 46 hours 24 minutes and 9 seconds to celebrate Valentine's Day in this southern Thai beach resort town, a landmark "kissathon" that organisers claim marked the longest recorded smooch in history.
The previous record — 32 hours, 7 minutes and 14 seconds — was set in 2009 by a couple in Germany, according to Guinness World Records.Fourteen mostly Thai pairs entered the contest when it kicked off Sunday morning at 6am local time.
By yesterday afternoon, half were still puckering up on the white-marble corridor of a shopping mall, where tourists gawked and smiled at the spectacle, snapping pictures with glowing mobile phones behind a red rope.
