I had all my copies signed by a solicitor in Holborn and took everything to the Thai Embassy myself.

I think you only need photocopies signed if you are NOT submitting the originals as well and are using photocopies only. The Thai embassy web page says that photocopies submitted without an original must be signed, and they can be signed by a Notary Public Officer or Solicitor.

No you need originals to take to solicitor they will copy & sign.
