Travel advice with a “Handy”

Guests staying at V Villas Hua Hin, MGallery by Sofitel can have fun trying out a new hand-held interactive travel service equipped with destination-specific features.

. The device , known as the Handy, is provided to every villa to keep guests connected, informed and entertained 24 hours a day, both while relaxing at the resort as well as when they are out and about exploring the sights of Hua Hin.

“The handy smartphone started as a bold idea to solve a travel problem but is now completely reshaping the tourism landscape,” says Terence Kwok, founder and CEO of Tink Labs. “The Handy, with its free mobile connectivity and indispensable city guide, is now the must-have amenity for all international travellers.”

The Handy device comes with unlimited 3G data connectivity and a WiFi tethering capability to other mobile devices, such as laptops and tablets, and also has pre-installed popular social media apps like Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. It offers unlimited local and international calls to Singapore, Hong Kong, Japan, China, Germany, France, the United Kingdom and the United States.

“Handy’s partnership with V Villas Hua Hin, MGallery by Sofitel marks a tremendous leap forward in establishing our global presence and is testament to the importance of complete mobile connectivity in today's tourism,” Kwok adds. “Our services will be an extremely valuable asset for expanding the hospitality footprint of V Villas Hua Hin.”

Guests can ensure that the browsing history of their handy, all personal information as well as any additional apps will be removed when the device is reset upon check-out.
