I have worked in Asia for about a year.
There's not only age discrimination as far I know, but deep racial discrimination.
I had a colleague from America. She was such a good teacher but of Asian descent.
Unfortunately, her Asian characteristics didn't convince my school that she looked like a 'native English speaker'.

This may sound mean, but being 'white' in Asia is an advantage as far as getting a teaching position is concerned.

I applied for a weekend teaching position the other day, and the lady on the other side asked me what race I was! :-O
I told her. She said I didn't sound like my race. lol
Anyway, she didn't beat about the bush. Said her School was not just a learning institution, but also a business premises, thus having teachers from The West would make her attract more students and as a result, good business! :-)

Anyway, good luck with getting a good job. I know there are lots of the educated recruiters in Asia who would consider hiring the qualified and diversely experienced, without considering their looks and their age.
