No. You change trains once, in Bangkok, and book each train as a separate ticket.
Take SP10 at 18:20, change in Bangkok and continue on RP171. The whole trip takes about 35h 30m, including 8h 40m to change trains.
From about 1,296 THB per adult in total, on SP10 and RP171 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.
