No. You change trains once, in Chaiya or Surat Thani or Thung Song or Sawi or Lamae or Lang Suan or Chumphon or Bangkok or Pran Buri, 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 17h 11m, including 3h 42m to change trains.
From about 573 THB per adult in total, on EX84 and RP171 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.
