Welcome to FT!
1. Many electrical items purchased in Thailand have only warranty that is effective in Thailand, but some offer 'internatnal warranty' - but maybe also price is higher. I would expect that warranty for Thai TV and blue ray player would not be honoured in India. Please check.
2. You can either buy duty free on departure ( but still expensive) or buy downtown. You can refund the tax at the airport, but it is a bit of a hassle procedure. Note that on arrival in India you may have to pay some tax -I have no idea about that.
Sorry not much help....!

I have been at Suvarnabhumi International Airport (BKK) many, many times and there are always hundreds of visitors - many look to me to be from India - each with at least one LED TV, some have more than one! I see them in the check-in area and at the VAT refund area. I see them getting out of taxis curb-side with TVs, so I assume they buy them in town, and then get the VAT refund ( 7 % ). I think I have seen like 10,000 LED TVs at the airport!
I am not familiar with the AC power in India, you'll have to verify that, a notebook PC should have a 50/60 -120-240 brick. My Samsung LED TV purchased here in Thailand, says 50/60 Hz - 115-240 V on the back. My Samsung DVD player, purchased here, also says it supports 50/60 Hz, 110-240 V.
I doubt the warranty will be any good in India.
I do not know what, if any, import duty you will have to pay when arriving in India?
