I did say "possibly". With low lights - or candlelight -  with a table on the lake, would have more romantic ambiance than Coffee Corner.

Thai couples attempt longest kiss record   
: 14 Feb 2011

Thai couples attempt to break world record for longest kiss

PATTAYA, THAILAND (BNO NEWS) -- Most couples kiss on Valentine's Day, but several couples in Thailand are determined to outdo them all: they are attempting to break the world record for the longest kiss.

The record attempt is being held in the Thai resort of Pattaya where 14 couples are trying to kiss more than 33 hours. They began on Sunday and - if they are successful - will end on Monday, Valentine's Day.

Only 30 minutes into the competition, however, one couple was disqualified after the woman fainted. Several other couples gave up after a few hours while others continued.

The current world record for the longest kiss was set by Matty Daley and Bobby Canciello in the United States last year, the first homosexual couple to break the record. They kissed for exactly 33 hours.

Before that, on Valentine's Day 2009, Nikola Matovic and Kristina Reinhart set the world record with a kiss lasting no less than 32 hours, 7 minutes and 14 seconds. The record was set in Germany.

Couples who want to set their own kissing record have to keep in mind that there are several rules.  
For example, the rules state that the kiss must be continuous and the lips must be touching at all times.
Further, the couple must stand the entire time, cannot take breaks and cannot be propped together by any aids such as pillows or people.

7 couples broke kissing record in Pattaya
Tue, Feb 15, 2011
The Nation/Asia News Network
   
 
Lovers nationwide celebrated Valentine's Day yesterday, with 250 couples registering their wedding at Bangkok's Bang Rak (Village of Love) district, while Pattaya hosted a contest for the longest kiss - and seven couples broke the world record.

As has become tradition, couples made their weddings memorable at various sites in Thailand. Nine couples in Chiang Mai registered their marriage midair in balloons, while 20 couples trekked "to prove their everlasting love" at the top of Loei's Phu Luang mountain.

At a wedding registration event hosted by Bang Rak district office at the Bangkok Commercial Asset Management Building, newlyweds Ekkachai Saranet, 31, and Ratchadawan Chotikul, 28, were the first to win a golden marriage licence.

 
In Pattaya's Royal Garden Plaza, a contest to try to break the world record for the longest kiss was successful. The old record of 32 hours, seven minutes and 14 seconds was set in the German city of Hamburg on Valentine's Day in 2009.

Yesterday, when the clock passed the record time, seven of 14 couples in the contest were still standing kissing.

They shared prizes worth Bt200,000 (S$8,350) in total.

While many gave lovers roses and chocolate, many Thai teens begged to differ. Chandrakasem Rajabhat University student Wanicha Jaemsaard said she would like a trip with a loved one rather than a rose and would like to do social service such as making Braille books for the blind.

University of the Thai Chamber of Commerce student Panich Maneerat said he would like to celebrate the day by donating blood to the Red Cross Society because the day should be a chance to do good with loved ones.

At the Phu Luang Wildlife Sanctuary in Loei's Phu Rua district, 20 couples trekked through the mountaintop's wildrose meadow in cool weather and admired 160 species of orchids before registering their marriages.

In Chiang Mai's Muang district, eight Thai couples and one British couple got on balloons to register their weddings midair in the Chalermphrakiat 80 Pansa Park.

Not only people got into the act. At the Chiang Mai Night Safari, seven pairs of rabbits were "wedded" in three types of ceremonies - Thai Lanna, Chinese and international - with Chiang Mai Governor MR Disanadda Disakul presiding.

At Chiang Mai Zoo, officials decorated the panda display with pink hearts for Thaiborn youngster Lin Ping. Fruit in a heartshaped basket was given to Chuang Chuang and Lin Hui, although Lin Ping was still too small to eat anything other than apple and bamboo bread.
