I think you want to look at this hidden option:

   * MiscHorizontalWheelNavigates (FALSE/TRUE)

     Controls whether the horizontal mouse wheel is used to navigate back
     and forth within a Thunar view, or whether it should be used for
     horizontal scrolling.

This bug report (reported by me) is relevant and give some (of my)
reasoning for the current default behaviour:
