The thermostat is located on the top right side of the engine as you look at it from in front of the car (Drivers side). The housing (gooseneck) is a little less rounded than a lot of vehicles, so it's not completely obvious.
Instructions with pictures are at the sight below. It's not for a Mazda, but it's close enough to tell what to do.
