No. You change trains once, in Bangkok, and book each train as a separate ticket.
Take SP38 at 14:15, change in Bangkok and continue on EX71. The whole trip takes about 26h 53m, including 1h 30m to change trains.
From about 551 THB per adult in total, on SP38 and RP139 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.
