Thermostat along with timing belt change?
Should I replace the thermostat when having the timing belt (and accessory belts, water pump, etc) changed?

Or is it something that can be "reached" without removing belts, etc in case I have a problem in the future??

Thanks

Not something you need to worry about unless it's bad. It can be gotten at without all the stuff removed.

You can reach it later without a problem. If I were you, I would change it while the cooling system is drained though.

It's scheduled to be replaced at the 105k service. Might as well do it since it is such a cheap replacement anyways. Not worth the headache when it goes bad.
