Metropolitan Police Bureau Commissioner Pol Lt Gen Khamronvit Thupkrajang promised Tuesday that police guarding his bureau would no longer fire teargases to fend off protesters.
He said he would allow the protesters to reach and seize the bureau.
The supreme protest leader, Suthep Thaugsuban, vowed to have protesters "seize" the bureau Tuesday.
Khamronvit said he has not been removed as the commander in charge of forces dealing with the protesters.
He said he had instructed police to open the line and clap to welcome the protesters when they arrive.
Thai Rath reported that Khamronvit inspected the police line at the First Army Division Intersection.
"There will be no clash today. If the protesters want to seize the Metropolitan Police, let them," Thai Rath quoted Khamronvit as saying.
"I've told my subordinates not to fire teargases. If anything happens, I'll take responsibility."
