No. You change trains once, in Bangkok, and book each train as a separate ticket.
Take SP8 at 07:30, change in Bangkok and continue on EX83. The whole trip takes about 25h, including 1h 10m to change trains.
From about 802 THB per adult in total, on SP8 and RP167 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.
