× Most of them are high rise apartment blocks and small office tower switch make the area feel quite urban and busy.
✓ Most of them are high-rise apartment blocks and small office towers, which make the area feel quite urban and busy.
The original sentence has multiple issues: missing hyphen in 'high-rise' (compound adjective) and incorrect noun number 'tower' should be plural to match 'small office towers.' 'switch' appears to be a typo for 'which,' and the clause requires a relative pronoun 'which' to connect the clause. Correct by adding a hyphen, pluralizing 'tower,' replacing 'switch' with 'which,' and inserting a comma before the relative clause. Suggestion: Use hyphens for compound adjectives before nouns and ensure correct plural forms and correct relative pronoun 'which' to join clauses.
× I always takes photos of interesting buildings because I admire that architecture and details and I like to keep pictures as a record when I travel.
✓ I always take photos of interesting buildings because I admire the architecture and details, and I like to keep pictures as a record when I travel.
The verb 'take' should be in base form 'take' after 'I' (first person), not 'takes' which is third person singular. Also 'that architecture' is incorrect; use 'the architecture' to refer generally to building design. Add a comma before the coordinating conjunction 'and' for clarity. Suggestion: Ensure verb agrees with the subject; use 'I take.' Use 'the' when referring to a general concept like architecture.
× I would like to visit museums. Yum in Bangkok is a beautiful building with an interesting design that bends traditional Thai element with modern architecture and I'm curious to see the.
✓ I would like to visit museums. The Yim in Bangkok is a beautiful building with an interesting design that blends traditional Thai elements with modern architecture, and I'm curious to see it.
Multiple problems: 'Yum' seems to be a misspelling or wrong name; assuming 'The Yim' or similar—ensure correct building name. 'Bends' is incorrect verb choice; 'blends' (mixes) fits here. 'Traditional Thai element' should be plural 'elements.' The clause ends abruptly 'to see the.' It needs the object 'it' to refer to the building. Also add 'the' before the building name if appropriate and a comma before 'and.' Suggestion: Choose correct verb 'blend,' pluralize 'elements,' and complete the sentence by adding the pronoun object 'it.'

The original is mostly correct, but for parallel prepositional structure it's clearer to include 'in' before 'an apartment' to match 'living in a house.' This maintains parallelism. Suggestion: Keep prepositional phrases parallel for clarity.
