Things to consider, similar to usual:

kids' school fees, car + driver, flights home, tax equalistion (hit 30% at THB 1mio+, and 37% at 4mio+), low cost of living in your favour, accommodation, "hardship allowance", flights back home, fee for visas/work permits for you and family, club memberships, medical insurance/cover. All vary and may / may not be on the table according to your employer

Personally in Thailand, I'd say take it for the experience not the package. Most important to me when I first came as a single guy, was a serviced apartment close to the office.

BTW Not saying all the above are necessary, but if you're negotiating...
