History of Bodindecha (Sing Singhaseni School)
Chao Phraya Bodindecha (Sing Singhaseni), Chancellor and military strategists under the reign of His Majesty King Nang Klao, astutely discerned the paramount significance of education. Recognizing the potential of educational institutions as bastions against moral turpitude and conduits for the dissemination of humane values, his visionary outlook permeated subsequent generations and progeny. In the year 1964, Khunying Nakhon Ratchaseni (Chue Singhaseni) magnanimously bequeathed this expanse of land, erstwhile serving as military precincts, to the Ministry of Education. Subsequently, this endowed estate has been consecrated to scholarly pursuits.


 * In the year 2511 BE (1968 CE), the Department of General Education assigned Miss Boonleuan Kreuatrachoo as the director of Triam Udom Suksa School. During that time, she supervised the construction of Bodindecha (Sing Singhaseni) School.


 * On April 30, 2514 BE (1971 CE), the Ministry of Education officially established the school.
 * On May 7, 2514 BE (1971 CE), the groundbreaking ceremony for the construction of the first academic building was held. Bodindecha (Sing Singhaseni) School received its first batch of students from Triam Udom Suksa School, with Mr. Chalerm Singhaseni serving as the head teacher.
 * In the academic year 2514 BE (1971 CE), Mr. Chalerm Singhaseni was appointed as the first head teacher. The school had 6 classrooms for first-year students and 12 classrooms for fourth-year students, totaling 838 students and 43 teachers. Initially, classes were held at Triam Udom Suksa School until the construction of the new building was completed. The relocation to the current location took place on May 17, 2516 BE (1973 CE).
 * On February 23, 2515 BE (1972 CE), His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej bestowed the school with the "Phra Kiao" emblem as its official symbol. This emblem was worn on the school uniforms of senior high school students.
 * In 2516 BE (1973 CE), senior high school students moved to Bodindecha (Sing Singhaseni) School, followed by junior high school students in the same year. This led to the establishment of the alumni association and parent-teacher association to support various school activities.
 * On June 24, 2521 BE (1978 CE), an annual event was established to commemorate Chao Phraya Bodindecha (Sing Singhaseni), with ceremonies presided over by King Bhumibol Adulyadej and later King Rama IX.
 * In 2529 BE (1986 CE), a Buddha statue was erected at the school, named "Phra Phutthabodinthrapitak Biriraksit Sisayya."
 * In 2530 BE (1987 CE), in celebration of the fifth cycle birthday anniversary of King Bhumibol Adulyadej, Mrs. Juangjan Singhaseni and the alumni association funded the construction of the "Chalerm Phra Kiat Building." The upper floor served as a meeting hall, while the lower floor housed the "Nakhon Ratchaseni Library (Chuea Singhaseni)," which received awards for outstanding school libraries from the Department of General Education and the Thai Library Association in 2531 BE (1988 CE).
 * In 2532 BE (1989 CE), Bodindecha (Sing Singhaseni) School was selected as a "large-scale royal bestowed secondary school."
 * In 2537 BE (1994 CE), in the auspicious year of King Bhumibol Adulyadej's Golden Jubilee, and marking the school's 25th anniversary, the Singhaseni lineage, teachers, students, parents, and alumni collaborated to establish the Chao Phraya Bodindecha (Sing Singhaseni) Museum.
 * On June 24, 2539 BE (1996 CE), Her Majesty Queen Sirikit presided over the opening ceremony of the museum.

History of Chao Phraya Bodindecha
Chao Phraya Bodindecha, also known as Sing Singhaseni, emerged as a prominent political and military figure within the Rattanakosin Kingdom, leaving a lasting legacy marked by his exceptional leadership and strategic prowess. Born in 1777 during the reign of King Taksin Maharaj in the Thonburi Kingdom, he hailed from a family with a rich history of service to the monarchy. His father, Chaopraya Apairacha (Pin), and mother, Fak Singhaseni, instilled in him a sense of duty and loyalty to the crown from an early age.

Sing Singhaseni's career trajectory began as a government officer under the patronage of Prince Isarasunthorn, the heir apparent at the time. As fate would have it, Prince Isarasunthorn ascended to the throne as King Buddha Loetla Nabhalai, furthering Sing's advancement within the royal court. However, it was his close association with Prince Chetsadabodin, later crowned as King Rama III in 1824, that would prove instrumental in shaping his destiny.

The year 1826 marked a significant turning point in Sing Singhaseni's career when King Rama III entrusted him with the crucial task of quelling the Laotian Rebellion led by King Anouvong of Vientiane. Sing's strategic acumen and military prowess proved pivotal in securing victory for the Rattanakosin government, earning him the esteemed title of PrayaRatchasuphawadi and the enduring favor of King Rama III. This triumph propelled him into the role of chief minister, where he assumed responsibility for overseeing civilian affairs.

In recognition of his unwavering loyalty and distinguished service, King Rama III bestowed upon Sing Singhaseni the illustrious title of "Chaopraya Bodindecha," a name crafted from elements of the king's own former appellation, Chetsadabodin. This honor affirmed Sing's elevated status within the royal hierarchy and underscored his indispensable contributions to the kingdom's governance and defense.

As chancellor, Chaopraya Bodindecha assumed leadership during the tumultuous Siamese-Vietnamese Wars, particularly the conflict in Cambodia from 1841 to 1845. Tasked with safeguarding the interests of the Rattanakosin Kingdom and supporting Prince Ang Duong of Cambodia, Chaopraya Bodindecha orchestrated military campaigns with precision and determination. His astute command of Siamese forces culminated in a decisive victory, ultimately paving the way for peace and stability in the region by 1845.

Despite the triumphs and challenges he faced throughout his illustrious career, Chaopraya Bodindecha remained steadfast in his dedication to the crown and the people he served. His tenure in Cambodia until 1848 exemplified his commitment to upholding diplomatic alliances and fostering prosperity beyond the borders of Thailand.

Tragically, Chaopraya Bodindecha's life was cut short by cholera in 1849, marking the end of an era for the Rattanakosin Kingdom. Nevertheless, his enduring legacy as a supreme military general, chief minister, and chancellor continues to inspire reverence and admiration, ensuring his place among the most revered figures in Thai history.

Phra Kiao
"Phra Kiao" or "Chulamongkut" is the royal regalia used to adorn the head of the consort or princess of the king and queen. It is also the emblematic insignia of the reign in the era of His Majesty King Chulalongkorn the Great. This is because the royal insignia of His Majesty King Chulalongkorn the Great is "Chulalongkorn," which translates to "head ornament" or "Chulamongkut," which is associated with the royal insignia of His Majesty King Chulalongkorn the Great. It also signifies "young King Chulalongkorn." When the original royal names and royal insignia of His Majesty King Chulalongkorn the Great are interpreted as "Phra Kiao" or "Chulamongkut," they are placed on the throne as the emblematic insignia of the reign of His Majesty.

Since the success and increase in enrollment, Bodindecha (Sing Singhaseni) expanded to begin the branch and established Bodindecha School (Sing Singhaseni) 2 in 1990. Subsequently, in 1992, the Ministry of Education considered renaming a school to commemorate the 60th anniversary of Her Majesty Queen Sirikit's birthday, leading to the Bodindecha (Sing Singhaseni) School 3, which was established as Nawaminthrachinuthit Bodindecha School. In 1995, Bodindecha (Sing Singhaseni) School 4 was founded.

Later, the Office of Basic Education Commission considered parents' preference to enroll their children in renowned schools with education and aimed to develop education towards community expansion in the suburban area. Therefore, they renamed Bang Kruai School to Bodindecha School (Sing Singhaseni) Nonthaburi in 1999 and Samutprakarn Pittayakom School to Bodindecha (Sing Singhaseni) School Samut Prakan in 2008.
