Folders, yes. Right-click a folder in Thunar and select "Open Folder as root".

There is no "Edit as Root" for a file though, right?
You can create one:
Thunar > Edit > Configure custom actions > +
BASIC TAB:
Name: Edit as Root
Command: gksu gedit %f
APPEARANCE TAB
Select: text files
You may have to close thunar and open it again.
