You do not have to drain the entire cooling system to replace the thermostat.
However, if it's been years since a "flush", it may be a good idea as suggested by others.

I replaced the thermostat on my 2001 S40 a few years ago and did not drain anything. There may have been some minor spillage, but I don't recall anything major.

Of course, you should make sure the cooling system is filled to capacity after you complete the repair.
