No. You change trains once, in Bangkok, and book each train as a separate ticket.
Take RP168 at 14:45, change in Bangkok and continue on SP7. The whole trip takes about 27h 05m, including 2h 20m to change trains.
From about 514 THB per adult in total, on EX84 and RP109 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.
