A THAI man is documenting his incredible 2,000km journey on TikTok as he travels on foot to propose to his girlfriend, who he met on social media and has yet to meet in person, in time for Valentine’s Day.

 

Departing from his hometown of Nakhon Nayok near Bangkok on January 14th, Mr. Suthep Lomjit, 52, hopes to reach the Southern Thai province of Satun by February 14. The man will walk nearly 2,000km to “prove his love” to a woman he has never met before and this is Ms Thanapa Khiao-on, 56.

 

In one of his various videos uploaded to social media, he said: “I will run and prove whether there is true love in my heart or not. I will run for a month, starting on January 14 and will reach my destination on February 14th – Valentine’s Day.”

If I was her, I would start running as well .

[blackcab]

That's equivalent to something like 47 marathons in 30 days.

[jcmj]

I hope it all goes well, but afraid it’s going to be a long slow walk home. 

[VinnieK]

That's a paltry 35 kms a day.

[Aussieroaming]

The only problem is that she doesn't realize that she is his "girlfriend".

He'll be too tired to consummate anything. If this girl turns him down I'm sure the story will attract many others looking for a romantic guy.

When he arrives: No!

And why did you walk here? I could have told you the same answer in a message.

Then he can walk home and think about what he did wrong.

I'd certainly be packing a light suitcase and have a visit somewhere out of town.

Leave a note on the door.

Granny,

What was that newspaper man talking about?

Have you put my photo on tinder?

Don't use my name!

 

[phetphet]

Looks like whoever took the photo of the lady beat him to it.

[jvs]

Very nice story!

I hope it will work out well for them,for some people it is not

all about looks and money.

Some old fashioned ideas like hope,commitment and love.

Why are there so many negative posts about this?

Most people commenting could not even walk have a day .

[Gottfrid]

Just another suicide mission, when the answer comes.

Ain't love grand....
