here dimpy, this is simple question .

we can use the concept of (1+Money rate)= (1+Return) (1+Inflation rate ) in India, since it is assumed that reurnin real term must be the same .also, using the IRPT ( FOREX CHAPTER) , we can find the RATE after 1 to 12 year, MUltiply the cash flows , and get INR Inflows.

calculate NPV Using INR . and then Convert these into Baht.

Vice - versa.
