In thunar >= 1.2.0 you can simply type things like "smb://MACHINE", 
"sftp://USER@HOSTNAME/PATH/TO/A/FOLDER" and so on into the location bar
or dialog (press <Ctrl>l to get there).Depending on the distribution, 
you may have to install additional gvfs packages like gvfs-smb or
gvfs-sftp
for this to work.

There is no support for remote bookmarks in thunar yet but we are working
on adding that. This feature may or may not make it into Xfce 4.10 (thunar

1.4.x). Until then you could try your luck with another app called
"gigolo".
