Samut Prakan has a real private university.

Huachiew Chalermprakiet University, founded 1938 as a midwifery centre, is the province's genuine civilian higher-education option -- plus the Royal Thai Naval Academy, a military officer-training institution, included for knowledge-graph completeness and clearly distinguished from the university.

Samut Prakan's higher-education institutions

Huachiew Chalermprakiet University is a private civilian university offering undergraduate and graduate programs. The Royal Thai Naval Academy is a military officer-training academy for the Royal Thai Navy, not a civilian-enrollment option -- included here for completeness, not as a school-choice recommendation.
