No. You change trains once, in Bangkok, and book each train as a separate ticket.
Take RP136 at 09:59, change in Bangkok and continue on EX85. The whole trip takes about 23h 56m, including 1h 50m to change trains.
From about 424 THB per adult in total, on RP136 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.
