Longest kiss in history: 46-hour Thai smooch

[Dinesh]

PATTAYA, Thailand – It was one long kiss for a couple — one record-breaking embrace for mankind.
A determined Thai couple locked lips for 46 hours, 24 minutes and nine seconds to celebrate Valentine's Day in this southern beach resort town, emerging victorious after a "kissathon" organizers claim marked the longest recorded smooch in history.
The previous record of just over 32 hours was set in 2009 by a couple in Germany, according to Guinness World Records, whose officials will have to verify the latest milestone for it to become official.
Fourteen couples kicked off the contest at 6 a.m. Sunday. By Monday afternoon, half had already beaten the record and were still puckering up on the white-marble corridor of an oceanside shopping mall in Pattaya. Passing tourists gawked, smiled and snapped pictures with glowing mobile phones behind a red rope.

If they were from the poorer regions, then yes.

3 grand equivalent worth of baht and a free ring is nothing to sneeze at for some people.

Here's the answer:

According to the rules, the lovebirds' lips could not part at any time. Any drinks could only be consumed through straws while continuing the kiss, and the couples had to remain embraced during bathroom breaks possible every three hours — accompanied by contest monitors.

Could be a bit embarrassing, depending on whether they needed to pay a short or long visit! :shock:
