ASEAN wants to be a SEA EU, but in practice the integration remains a distant possibility at best.

Granted, even if that was a case, Myanmar would still act like Orban or PiS.
Correction, the stated goal of ASEAN was never something as ambitious as the EU, owing to the very strong deep rooted ethno-nationalism. It was never something as far as the EU because the understated mantra was "mind your own business and I will mind my own." Goals of ASEAN even in the simplest was increased trade and like decades later, the best we can do is latch on regional FTAs like the RCEP.
 
Dictatorships never change.
