See if you can find a thai relatively competent in HTML/CSS. Tell them explictly that you want to use www.cushycms.com to update your website, this will cut them off recommending a joomla/wordpress solution that probably wont be maintained in line with patches. With CushyCMS the HTML guy only has to add an attribute to the editable partition of the website, for small static websites I think this is the way forward and to get you to this stage shouldnt cost much, dont bother "brushing" up on your html/css as its not your core you'll end with suboptimal outputs. With cushycms (or the other hosted CMS solutions there 3 or 4 now - see stackoverflow.com) you can edit and update as much as you want, keeping content up-to-date, focusing on your business domain rather than than learning a skill partially.

If you do insist of learning it though, get some good books and prepare to invest a lot of time. Start with w3c 2.1 css spec (its actually free) and I think the best resource for understanding what you need (presuming a degree of html competence). good luck
