From the Thailand Diary team · An editorial guide, not a first-hand traveller review.
Here is the practical setup: one shared trip, a place for each destination, ideas you can decide on later, and the bookings everyone needs to find.
1. Create the trip, then send its invitation
Open My Diary and create a trip if you do not have one. Give it a name your companions will recognise, then use Invite to copy its private invitation link. Send that link directly to the people travelling with you, not in a public Community post.
Your friend signs in and chooses whether to join. Joining does not delete a separate Diary they already have. Use the trip switcher to open the intended shared trip before adding something.
2. Add destinations before filling the days
Create the places you are going to visit, then add dates when you know them. Put an airport pickup in the arrival place and a restaurant idea in the destination where you would use it. A note such as “meet at the hotel entrance” is more useful beside that plan than buried in a separate chat.
Save a place as an idea if you are still deciding. Turn it into a dated plan deliberately; saving content does not book it or automatically put it into every day.
4. Record the actual booking details
For a transfer, include its date, pickup point, provider and the people travelling. For a restaurant, include its name, time and whether you have a confirmed reservation. Record a quoted group total as a group total, not as an unexplained number each person might treat as their own share.
Use notes for who paid and any balance still due. The Diary organises the information; it does not transfer money, buy tickets or create a reservation with a provider.

Questions worth answering
Does inviting a friend make my Diary public?
No. It gives the invited person access after they accept. Public community submissions are a separate choice.
Will the Diary book things for us?
No. Save and organise your plans here, then check and book with the provider where needed.
