No. You change trains once, in Bangkok, and book each train as a separate ticket.
Take RP136 at 16:55, change in Bangkok and continue on EX85. The whole trip takes about 17h, including 1h 50m to change trains.
From about 262 THB per adult in total, on RP136 and RP173 in the cheapest available class.
At least one hour at the same station. Long-distance trains, especially from the south, are often late, so a wait of 2–3 hours is safer. If you change between Hua Lamphong and Krung Thep Aphiwat in Bangkok, allow extra time to cross the city.
