What’s the catch teaching in Asia?

Thinking of making a massive leap and going to teach in Asia. I have two small children- one of school age- and the agency have said it is likely their school fees will be fully paid. They’ve also said it’s likey I’d be commanding a salary of around 30-50 GBP per year. This all sounds marvellous but there must be a catch right? I’ve told them I’m not interested in Middle East as don’t fancy that area as for us it’s about lifestyle and not money. I should also note that I’m an RE/PSHE hod but do have humanities experience- agency reckon I should def get a job but I’m not sure if any schools will want my subjects? I’ve been teaching over a decade and have loads of middle management experience, proven results etc. Any advice would be very welcome! Ideally would want Thailand or Malaysia

My Dd came back last summer after an academic year as a student in China. Tianjin, the city she was in, looked lovely. I didn't visit but the area had a lot of European culture and features alongside the traditional and modern chinese. Chinese people are very welcoming, the cost of living can be low and the weather operates a similar schedule to ours, but is more extreme at either end.
