Thaksin called the April 2 poll three years early in hopes of ending weeks of political turmoil, but he remains the target of mass street protests calling for his resignation.
For the first time Wednesday, he indicated that he was willing to consider a proposal from academics and business leaders that he step aside long enough to allow for constitutional reforms sought by the opposition.
"I am open to considering every solution," the premier said when asked about the proposal while campaigning in the northeastern town of Buriram.
"If there is anyone who could work instead of me, I would not cling to my position," he said.
Thaksin also suffered a slight from military leaders Tuesday, who publicly contradicted his warning about declaring a state of emergency should the protest turn violent. The military leaders insisted such a move was unwarranted.

Mauuna na nga siguro si Thaksin. Dumarami na kasi mga street protests. Military ayaw naman ng SONE.
Laki difference ng Thailand sa Pinas.
