Wat Sing Satit (วัดสิงห์สถิต) is a public Buddhist temple of the Mahanikaya sect, located in Wat Sing Subdistrict, Wat Sing District, Chai Nat Province, Thailand. The temple grounds cover an area of 35 rai, 2 ngan, and 31.4 square wah. Additionally, there are 11 plots of temple land (throne land), totaling 167 rai, 3 ngan, and 6.2 square wah. The current abbot is Phra Athikan Srithanon Kantasilo.

The temple was established in 1832 CE (B.E. 2375). Locals commonly refer to it as Wat Sing. Originally, this area was a forest likely inhabited by wild animals such as lions (singh), and when a village was later established, it came to be known as Ban Singh ("Lion Village"). When the temple was constructed, it was named "Wat Singh," which became the official name. At that time, the name was written as "Wat Sing Sathitya" (วัดสิงห์สถิตย์). In 1940 (B.E. 2483), the silent character ya "ย์" was dropped, resulting in the current name, "Wat Sing Satit" (วัดสิงห์สถิต). The temple received royal ordination boundaries (Vihāra) around 1843 (B.E. 2386). Buddhist scriptures (Pariyatti Dhamma) have been taught there since 1914 (B.E. 2457). There is also a public primary school located within the temple grounds.^[1]

The religious buildings include a main Ubosot (ordination hall) measuring 10 meters wide and 21 meters long, constructed in 1931 (B.E. 2474). The hall follows the Maha-Utt architectural style and is surrounded by a Kampaeng Kaew (sacred boundary wall). Inside the Ubosot is the principal Buddha image, Luang Pho Yai (Big Buddha).^[2]

There is also a sala kan parian (preaching hall) that is 16 meters wide and 35 meters long, constructed in 1939 (B.E. 2482) as a wooden building. The sermon hall is 10 meters wide and 12 meters long, built in 1932 (B.E. 2475), also made of wood. There are 9 monk’s residences (kuti), all wooden buildings.
