When I try in Script Editor:

set macpath to POSIX file "/Volumes/เม่น/Users" as Unicode text

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

set macpath to file " ‘ßÀÏ:Volumes:‡¡Ëπ:Users" as Unicode text

Sounds like you're on 10.4 or earlier. AppleScript only supports Unicode source code in 10.5+; previously it used the host system's primary encoding, which is why your non-MacRoman(?) characters are getting mangled. If you must use AppleScript for some reason, either write your unicode string literals using raw «data utxt...» format, or pass in unicode strings as parameters to an Apple event constructed via NSAppleEventDescriptor.
