I dont know why im losing coolant...no leaks.....every time i drive far(about 200 or so mile) the car starts to overheat. I always have the refill the radiator. And the resivior takes all the coolant but only spits it back in the radiator when it over heats. But when car over heats the coolant in the resivior boils up and starts spitting it out too...there's a little hole on the right side underneath the cap of the resivior(on the tube)....it looks factory to me....so im thinking its my thermostat...what do you guys think???

Easy check. Take it to a garage where they can test the coolant system which would show up a potential HG problem - or get yourself a kit as Bitter has already suggested.
I would also make sure that the rad cap is okay too. If that is knackered, then it would hold pressure which could easily result in a leak when up to running temp.
