“It was a once-in-a-lifetime experience. We spent so much time together, and I choose to focus on the good memories of what we accomplished as a team.”A Journey of Unwavering Determination

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.
“The moment their lips separated, I knew we had won,” Ekkachai said.A Reflective Take on Their Feat

“Only someone a little crazy would attempt something like this. A regular person wouldn’t even consider it,” he joked.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.
