Military Officer-Training Academy (not a civilian university) · founded 1898 · Mueang Samut Prakan District, Samut Prakan
The Royal Thai Naval Academy, established in 1898 under King Chulalongkorn (Rama V) to train officers for the Royal Thai Navy, moved to its current riverside site on Sukhumvit Road in Paknam, Mueang Samut Prakan District, in 1952. It remains a well-known local landmark, with its own dedicated BTS station (Royal Thai Naval Academy station) on the Sukhumvit line.
RTNA is a military officer-training academy, not a civilian degree-granting university most relocating families would consider for their children -- it trains commissioned officers for the Royal Thai Navy. It is included here for completeness and knowledge-graph accuracy, clearly distinguished from Huachiew Chalermprakiet University, Samut Prakan's genuine civilian higher-education option.
