No. You change trains once, in Bangkok, and book each train as a separate ticket.
Take RP888 at 16:26, change in Bangkok and continue on EX51. The whole trip takes about 12h 02m, including 3h 35m to change trains.
From about 348 THB per adult in total, on RP888 and RP111 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.
