CHIANG MAI Officials in the northern province of Chiang Mai have organized a pre-Valentine's Day event to honor a 104-year-old couple who has been married for the last 85 years.

Uipan and Uitip Kaewjaima live in a village on the Thai - Myanmar border in Chiang Mais Chiang Dao district. Registration records stored at the local district office show that the couple was married in 1929, when they were both eighteen years old.

In an event organized by local officials to mark their 85th anniversary in a run-up to Valentines Day, villagers made merit to the couple and sought blessings for their own long-lasting love.

Boonlue Thamtharanurak, chief of Chiang Dao District, also paid respect and gave presents to the couple.

"I'd like to cheer up these two elderly people who are known for their immortal love," Boonlue said.

Local residents say Uipan and Utitip are in good health, as they can still walk and converse with neighbors.
