Their record-breaking journey began in 2011 when they first won the title with a 46-hour kiss.

However, after losing the record in 2012, they entered the gruelling 2013 competition with the determination to reclaim their title.

Participants faced strict rules, including staying awake, remaining in a continuous kiss even during bathroom breaks, and even sharing water mouth-to-mouth.

Pushing Beyond Physical Limits

Ekkachai recalled the intense physical challenge of the competition, admitting he felt lightheaded early on.

“We tried to stay as still as possible, almost like statues… To keep ourselves awake, we tapped each other’s heads and hugged for support,” he explained.

As the final hours approached, exhaustion took over for their last remaining competitors, Leadership reported.

“The moment their lips separated, I knew we had won,” Ekkachai said.

While their relationship has come to an end, their extraordinary achievement remains a lasting symbol of endurance, determination, and an unforgettable moment in Guinness World Records history, Vanguard reported.

Guinness World Record verifies Hilda's cookathon

Earlier, Legit.ng reported that Nigeria's Hilda Baci is the new record holder for the longest cooking marathon, having cooked for 93 hours and 11 minutes.

This much is contained in a statement released Tuesday, June 13, by the Guinness World Records. Hilda did her cooking challenge in May and later submitted evidence of 100 hours of cooking to the Guinness World Records.

The body said the miscalculation of the five minutes resting time officially allowed reduced Hilda's submitted record of 100 hours to 93 hours and 11 minutes.
