The record for the world’s longest kiss belongs to a Thai couple, Ekkachai and Laksana Tiranarat. Their smooch clocked in at a jaw-dropping 58 hours, 35 minutes, and 58 seconds! This marathon make-out session took place in 2013 at an event organized by Ripley’s Believe It or Not! in Pattaya, Thailand. The lovebirds locked lips on February 12th and didn’t break contact until Valentine’s Day, proving their love was truly enduring.

However, this record-breaking kiss came with a caveat. Concerns about participant safety and potential health risks led Guinness World Records to discontinue this specific category. Now, the focus is on a “kissing marathon” format. This allows couples to take short breaks for rest and basic needs, making it a more sustainable (and healthy) way to show your love’s longevity.
