Yes, you will often hear people mixing English in their Thai conversations. Just turn on the radio and you will hear the odd English word spoken two or three times a minute. In some ways it is fashionable to use English like this. It is almost like they are showing off. However, it is also lazy because sometimes it is easier for them to use an English word (albeit with a Thai accent) than a Thai word which can be long-winded. On my desk I have a book of English words that are used in every-day language.
