A 52-year-old farmer finished a 1,200-kilometre-long journey on foot to marry the sweetheart he met on social media on Valentine's Day.
Suthep Promjit of Nakhon Nayok province, finished his walk-and-run at Satun's Thung Wa district office. And there he married Thanapa Khiaw-on, 56, a local vendor.
Mr Suthep set out on his journey on Jan 14, leaving Nakhon Nayok after three months spent getting himself fit for the trip.
He arrived in the lower southern province of Satun on Monday. On average, he walked and ran about 39 kilometres a day. He posted his progress on social media and people came out to provide moral support along the way.
He first met MsThanapa five months ago. She sold shrimp paste and dried seafood, posting on TikTok.
Ms Thanapa said Mr Suthep first greeted her via the app, while she was selling. He sent her pictures of flowers and ordered shrimp paste.
They continued to chat, and over time they became close. Finally Mr Suthep asked if she had a lover.
She told him she had been single for about 10 years.
She told him to prove his sincerity by walking to Satun. He replied that he would, and would reach her on Valentine's Day.
