Thai Food Glossary

Anybody knows what happened to Nobody?

Recently I wanted to go the German restaurant Nobody in Santhitam area, -an old favorite of mine for his trout dishes and the butchers plate (Schlachtplatte) - owned by a German (Joerg) and his Thai wife.
It was not there anymore. The hole lane was packed with some new nightlife places for the younger local crowd - lots of drinking and girls in sexy dresses serving in numbers but no Haxen anymore.

Can't find it nowhere, anybody knows where Nobody now is?
