Maenam never managed to develop as a nightlife center and over the years has gained a reputation as a peaceful retreat with people attracted precisely because there are no noisy clubs and bars. That said, some of the beach bars and resorts throw the occasional party and there are now a couple of bars in the old town and a few bars along the road that runs down to Shady Shack where Freedom and New Star bars have pool tables and Noi's bar is located-but do not expect too much action. In the old town Ban Maenam (or Toto's). Opposite Crystal Divers, is a cool little hangout with a pool table-popular with local residents. New Wave (on the same street, but closer to the highway) is a similar kind of bar and on the beach chock Dee caf? and Caf? Talay offer old style laid back Samui beach hospitality and the scents of the local herb may be detectable on occasions.
       On the main highway at the east end of town the Jazzer is a new hip looking bar with an Internet caf? next and the Moon bar is a dark old-style Maenam bar but neither have ginned much of a following yet.
