Do a coolant pressure test to see if you have a coolant leak or failing head gaskets.
Replace the t/stat, make sure you bleed the air from the coolant system.
Check and make sure your main fan is working properly as well as the electric fan in front of your radiator.

How about your electric fan, is it coming on?
Do you have a plug on the top of your radiator, have you ever removed it then filled your coolant bottle till coolant comes out through the plug hole?

Then if you are still getting hot, I would look at a coolant pressure test to see if you are moving into a head gasket issue.
