Tokyo, Singapore, and Osaka Lead Thai Travelers’ School Break Plans
Agoda has revealed the top family-friendly urban destinations for Thai travelers during the 2026 school summer break, with Tokyo, Singapore, and Osaka ranking as the most searched cities for family holidays.
The insights are based on accommodation searches made on Agoda between 1 January and 30 April 2026 for travel dates from 19 June to 24 August 2026, which coincide with the summer holiday period for students in Thailand’s international school system.
According to Agoda, Thai families are increasingly choosing destinations that offer a balance of entertainment, convenience, safety, and educational experiences for travelers of all ages. Searches that included at least one child highlighted a growing demand for destinations that combine world-famous attractions with easy transportation, family-friendly infrastructure, and activities suitable for both children and adults.
Tokyo once again secured the top spot among Thai family travelers. The Japanese capital continues to attract visitors with its mix of entertainment, culture, and accessibility. Popular attractions such as Tokyo Disneyland and Tokyo DisneySea remain major draws for families traveling with children, while the city’s efficient public transportation, shopping districts, food scene, and cultural landmarks make it equally appealing for multi-generational travel, including elderly family members.
Singapore also maintained its position as one of the top outbound summer destinations for Thai travelers. Known for its safety, clean environment, and seamless transportation system, the city remains a favorite for family holidays. Attractions including Universal Studios Singapore, Singapore Zoo, and the S.E.A. Aquarium continue to attract strong interest from families seeking both entertainment and educational experiences. The city’s accessibility, green spaces, culinary experiences, and relaxed urban lifestyle also make it attractive for senior travelers.
Osaka remained among the top-ranked destinations thanks to its reputation for world-class theme parks, entertainment districts, and family attractions. Beyond entertainment, the city offers cultural experiences, renowned local cuisine, and easy access to nearby destinations such as Kyoto and Nara. Family travelers also continue to show strong interest in attractions like Osaka Aquarium Kaiyukan, which adds to the city’s appeal as a destination suitable for all generations.
Agoda’s findings also revealed that destinations featuring diverse entertainment options such as theme parks, aquariums, and interactive attractions continue to resonate strongly with Thai travelers. These destinations allow families to combine leisure, learning, and quality bonding time within a single trip.
Akaporn Rodkong, Country Director Thailand and Indochina at Agoda, said family travel continues to play a major role during the summer holiday season, especially among Thai families planning trips around school breaks.
“Destinations like Tokyo, Osaka, and Singapore remain highly appealing because they combine world-class theme parks with convenient travel access, diverse attractions, and experiences that cater to both children and adults. At Agoda, we are committed to helping people see the world for less, making these memorable family journeys more accessible to everyone,” Akaporn said.
The data also showed that these destinations were among the most searched cities in 2025, reflecting their continued popularity among Thai family travelers. Meanwhile, Hong Kong experienced a slight decline in search interest this year compared to previous rankings.
As demand for family-friendly travel continues to grow, Agoda is further expanding its travel offerings with more than 6 million holiday properties, over 130,000 flight routes, and more than 300,000 travel activities available on its platform. Travelers can also conveniently book attraction tickets, tours, and transportation services in one place, helping families plan seamless end-to-end holidays.
To celebrate its 21st anniversary, Agoda is also launching its “21st Birthday Sale” from 7 May to 21 May, offering discounts of up to 60% on hotel bookings, alongside a special flash sale on 19 May with savings of up to 70%, plus exclusive flight and activity deals.
