Among the lovebirds were actor Danai Jarujinda and his fiance Phraewwanich Kijthawornsawat, who decided to tie the knot after 11 years together.

“Balloon Love” is held at Singha Park Chiang Rai Balloon Fiesta, which runs from February 13-17.

The festival saw more than 35 balloons from 13 countries, including the US, Taiwan, Australia, Brazil, Japan, South Korea and Switzerland, competing for the 500,000 baht top prize.

Congratulations to all the new couples.
