Yeah it's true. I work as a production designer and set decorator so I deal with that type of thing a lot. Thai Express could have paid them too, it's quite prominent. The art department probably would (should) have flagged it as a out-of-time/place sign to be altered. But a lot of factors can fall into that sort of thing. Yeah its a high priced show, but that doesn't mean they don't want to save where they can. Every dollar not spent here can go somewhere else. How much time do we have in this space, how many people, is it even physically possible given their prep time? Or they could have been told it wouldn't be seen, but then that changed on the day (happens A LOT) and they just didn't bother with fixing in post, as it wouldn't be something they could just take down in a few minutes on a panic.
That said, the light is on. If it was something that wasn't supposed to show up I'd imagine they could have just turned it off. Or there was a call made to Thai Express and they made a deal to have it shown.
Either way, it's probably not a "mistake" in the same way as a water bottle left on set of GOT or the crew in the shot by the bridge. It'd be a more purposeful "how much do we care about this?" type of question.
