Using "Thunderbolt" to conect to TV

Hi All - I am a noob so please be gentle!

I want to be able to connect my macbook pro to my TV and I vaguely remember the sales assistant saying I could use the Thunderbolt cable.

My TV has a standard PC monitor cable (I have used it as a PC monitor before).

Is there a cable that has a Thunderbolt connection one end and a standard PC monitor connection at the other?

Thanks all.

You will need one of these cable "adapters" and the normal cable.
