If you meet the requirements, your age may not be a problem, ,There is a minimum age of 20, but no maximum age, and there are many foreigners teaching English here at many age levels. Here is a list of requirements I found at http://www.ajarnforum.net/vb/the-newbie-zone/59583-minimum-age-required-to-become-a-teacher-in-thailand.html.

You can compare this with the requirements at http://www.ajarnchris.com/thailand-teaching-license-requirements/
I know teachers who are older than you are, and the mandatory retirement age for teachers in the Thai government system is 60 years old, but if you teach in the private sector the age limit will depend on the employer.
If you check the website www.ajarnchris.com or www.ajarnchris.com
, you can get more information from people who are teaching in Thailand.
