So they can just hand back their taxis to the finance company? They are not liable to pay the outstanding balance of the lease agreement?  

That's not what was reported, or suggested, unless they lease/rent on a daily basis from the owner.

Drivers are rude, try to rip you off with overcharging. 

Every driver?  All the time?  Wow, never knew that was the case.  Or do you mean just Chiang Mai taxi drivers?

I suspect taxis are not the only vehicles being returned to finance companies in Chiang Mai, or Thailand for that matter. Used car lots seem to be awash with unsold cars.

What do you expect?  If they didn't have any cars they wouldn't be car lots.

Why? What was her reasoning?

they are getting beaten by a much better product eg GRAB and are not willing to change their old-fashioned ways. Its happening to all taxis everywhere in the world.
