Introduction to Wrong Way Home
Wrong Way Café
Although I had other (greater?) expectations for this website, things change, and after I began working on it we opened Wrong Way Café. This pub of ours and our thoughtful patrons are now our focus, and this website is being updated to reflect this. We opened Wrong Way Café on April 7, 2006. 
Please join us for our 4th Anniversary Celebration on Wednesday, April 7, 2010. With 4 years under our belt we are now as firmly established as we ever will be. Most tuk tuk drivers know us, and if they pick up some wayward traveler with communication difficulties, they are often dropped off at Wrong Way Café, like it or not. Friendly relationships with other establishments bring us customers passing through from distant locations such as Si Phan Don (the 4,000 Islands) on the backpacker route, Bangkok, Vientiane, and Phnom Penh.
So, why did we open the Wrong Way Café? During my years in Ubon before we opened, I had not come across a single meeting place for expats that was not deafening or otherwise unaccommodating, except perhaps for the well-known Swing Party House. Things have changed and there are more options now, as there should be, but back then you might run into an expat or two on a Friday night somewhere, enjoy a few too many drinks together, and wake up the next morning with only foggy recollection and a suspicious telephone number scribbled on a napkin. Did I get that from the guy from Newcastle or the cute Tiger Beer promotion girl?
It gradually occurred to me that “I” needed a pub with bar stools, a counter I can lean on, a pool table, Western food, and some English-speaking company to chat with. So I made one. It didn’t occur to me until later how much “Ubon” needed one, too.
