Social media has reached its toll at present and teenagers post and share whatever they feel in the said platform. Thus, it is very important to communicate appropriately with correct grammar and punctuation to promote understanding and appropriateness in social media posts. This corpus-based study was conducted to identify misused punctuation marks on Thai SHS Students on their social media posts. The researchers gathered forty-eight (48) social media posts from Thai senior high school students. The errors committed by the students were identified and analyzed through error analysis using percentage method. The results showed that most of the students did not use any punctuation marks in their posts. Furthermore, it was also found out that gender and grade level do not have any significant difference in the errors made. It is seen that the proper use of punctuation marks is neglected. It is very important that second language teachers give much importance in teaching the various functions of punctuation and its role in communication.
