× It's a capital city in Thailand also.

✓ It's the capital city of Thailand as well.

Use the definite article 'the' before 'capital city' because a country has one capital; and use 'of' to show possession ('capital of Thailand'). 'Also' at end is better as 'as well' for more natural flow.

× My favourite thing about my home town is probably how convenient it is to travel from here and there, but sometimes commuting in Bangkok can be little bit of a nightmare.

✓ My favourite thing about my hometown is probably how convenient it is to travel from place to place, but sometimes commuting in Bangkok can be a little bit of a nightmare.

Use 'hometown' as one word and 'place to place' is a natural expression. Include the article 'a' in 'a little bit of a nightmare.' Also 'home town' -> 'hometown' is standard spelling.

× I've born and raised in Bangkok so I lived here basically all of my life

✓ I've been born and raised in Bangkok, so I've lived here for basically my whole life.

Use present perfect forms: 'I've been born and raised' (passive born with 'been') and 'I've lived... for my whole life' to indicate duration up to now. 'So I lived' mixes simple past incorrectly with 'I've born'.

× I think it's pretty bad places for old people to live because as I said it's a capital city so it's pretty it's very crowded and there's a lot of entertaining stuff like pub or clubbing.

✓ I think it's pretty bad for older people to live because, as I said, it's a capital city so it's very crowded and there are a lot of entertainment options like pubs and clubs.

'Places' should not follow 'it's' — use 'it's pretty bad for older people.' 'Old people' -> 'older people' is more natural. 'There's a lot of' with plural nouns should be 'there are a lot of.' 'Entertaining stuff' better as 'entertainment options.' Use plural 'pubs and clubs.' Remove repeated 'it's pretty it's'.

× I've learnt some of the history of my hometown when I was in school but not that much

✓ I learned some of the history of my hometown when I was at school, but not that much.

Use simple past 'learned' or British 'learnt' consistently; 'when I was at school' is the common phrase. Add a comma before the contrasting clause.

× I did. I learned about that when I was in school also and I learned it from my grandparents.

✓ I did. I learned about it when I was at school, and I learned it from my grandparents.

Use 'about it' rather than 'about that' for natural reference. 'At school' preferred; add comma before 'and' joining clauses.

× My hometown is a big city. As I said, it's a capital city and there's a lot of office and shopping wall. So it's a pretty big place.

✓ My hometown is a big city. As I said, it's the capital city and there are a lot of offices and shopping malls. So it's a pretty big place.

Use 'the capital city' for the single capital. 'Office' should be plural 'offices.' 'Shopping wall' is incorrect; use 'shopping mall' and plural if many. Use 'there are' for plural.

× I do especially I think it's because my mum and dad, my grandma my grandparents, my friends. Everyone lived here, so that's why it's my favorite place.

✓ I do, especially because my mum and dad, my grandma and my grandparents and my friends all live here, so that's why it's my favorite place.

Ensure subject-verb agreement and correct tense: 'Everyone lived here' should be 'all live here' to indicate current residence. Add conjunctions 'and' between list items. Remove awkward phrasing 'I think it's because' for clarity.

× This is the same reason that I like my home town. It's I think it's too crowded sometimes especially early early in the morning on weekdays, it's a nightmare.

✓ This is the same reason I like my hometown. I think it's too crowded sometimes, especially early in the morning on weekdays; it's a nightmare.

Remove redundant 'it's' and duplicate 'early.' Use 'hometown' one word. Add punctuation to separate ideas and improve flow.

× Well, I do it's my home, of course. Apart from the reason why I dislike it other than that I cannot complain.

✓ Well, I do — it's my home, of course. Apart from the things I dislike about it, I cannot complain.

Rephrase to avoid repetition and run-on structure. 'Apart from the reason why I dislike it other than that' is redundant; use 'Apart from the things I dislike about it.' Add punctuation.

× Yes, I do. I don't really see myself living elsewhere because, you know, I have my house, I have my parents and all of my friends are here, so I don't really see me moving somewhere else.

✓ Yes, I do. I don't really see myself living elsewhere because I have my house, my parents, and all of my friends here, so I don't really see myself moving somewhere else.

Use consistent pronoun 'myself' not 'me.' Remove filler 'you know.' Simplify list punctuation.

× So it's Bangkok and I live in a rather crowded place and it's convenient, it's lively. There's a lot of people sometimes crowded, especially if it's early on the weekdays.

✓ It's Bangkok and I live in a rather crowded area; it's convenient and lively. There are a lot of people and it can be crowded sometimes, especially early on weekdays.

'Place' -> 'area' is natural. Use 'there are' for plural. Remove extra 'the' in 'on the weekdays.' Combine sentences for clarity.

× I think the most famous thing about my hometown is the street food. People from foreign cities, foreign countries they came to eat our street food, even the local people love the street food as well.

✓ I think the most famous thing about my hometown is the street food. People from foreign countries come to eat our street food, and even local people love it as well.

Use present tense 'come' for habitual action. 'From foreign cities, foreign countries they came' is redundant; 'from foreign countries' is enough. Replace repeated 'street food' with 'it' for natural flow.

× Yes, I did. I learned it in school. There was specific subject for it. I don't really do well, but at least I gained something from it.

✓ Yes, I did. I learned it in school. There was a specific subject for it. I didn't do very well, but at least I gained something from it.

Use article 'a specific subject.' Change 'I don't really do well' to past 'I didn't do very well' to match past context. 'Very' preferred over 'really' in this phrase.

× Yes, there are and that's why that's that's the fact that makes my hometown pretty lively.

✓ Yes, there are, and that's the fact that makes my hometown pretty lively.

Remove duplicate 'that's' and add comma. The sentence is fine otherwise.

× I think it is because it's a capital city which it have it has many office landmark in the city and a lot of people often come to the city to just find a opportunity to their career.

✓ I think it is because it's a capital city which has many office landmarks in the city, and a lot of people often come to the city to find opportunities for their careers.

Do not use 'which it have' — use 'which has' for the relative clause. 'Office landmark' -> 'office landmarks' plural. 'A opportunity' -> 'opportunities' (plural) and use 'for their careers' to show purpose. Remove redundant 'just' and fix noun forms.
