No. You change trains once, in Chaiya or Surat Thani or Thung Song or Sawi or Lamae or Lang Suan, and book each train as a separate ticket.
Take EX84 at 17:00, change in Chaiya and continue on RP171. The whole trip takes about 12h 51m, including 3h 42m to change trains.
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.
