NPM Request not get html from thai url. (Web Scraping)

Question

This code will not show html in console it show error

var request = require('request');
var thai_url = "http://pantip.com/tag/Honda_(มอเตอร์ไซค์)";

request(thai_url, function (error, response, html) {
        if (!error && response.statusCode === 200) {
            console.log(html);
        } else {
            console.log("Error");
        }
});

But I change thai_url from มอเตอร์ไซค์ to %E0%B8%A1%E0%B8%AD%E0%B9%80%E0%B8%95%E0%B8%AD%E0%B8%A3%E0%B9%8C%E0%B9%84%E0%B8%8B%E0%B8%84%E0%B9%8C

Like This

var request = require('request');

var thai_url = "http://pantip.com/tag/Honda_(%E0%B8%A1%E0%B8%AD%E0%B9%80%E0%B8%95%E0%B8%AD%E0%B8%A3%E0%B9%8C%E0%B9%84%E0%B8%8B%E0%B8%84%E0%B9%8C)";

request(thai_url, function (error, response, html) {
        if (!error && response.statusCode === 200) {
            console.log(html);
        } else {
            console.log("Error");
        }
});

The second code working right. Can I change มอเตอไซค์ to %E0%B8%A1%E0%B8...(more)? Or If it's possible, How am I doing for http://pantip.com/tag/Honda_(มอเตอร์ไซค์) working with npm request ? Thank you for any help.

Update. Now I can solve this problem by this

var thai_url = encodeURI("http://pantip.com/tag/Honda_(มอเตอร์ไซค์)");

Use encodeURI. http://www.javascripter.net/faq/escape.htm
