No. You change trains once, in Bangkok, and book each train as a separate ticket.
Take EX76 at 08:42, change in Bangkok and continue on EX85. The whole trip takes about 25h 13m, including 4h 30m to change trains.
From about 469 THB per adult in total, on EX76 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.
