Could you tell me the exact appscript code?

When I try in Script Editor:

tell application "Finder"
set macpath to POSIX file "/Volumes/เม่น/Users" as Unicode text
open information window of macpath
activate
end tell

and do "Compile", then this gets transformed into:

tell application "Finder"
set macpath to file " ‘ßÀÏ:Volumes:‡¡Ëπ:Users" as Unicode text
open information window of macpath
activate
end tell

and a subsequent "Run" complains (quite understandable) about this ridiculous path.

So, if "as alias" does not work, what exactly to use instead?

Oddly enough, it seems to work for me in Script Editor under Leopard:

tell application "Finder"
	set theFile to POSIX file "/เม่น"
	open theFile
end tell
