The boy with his face painted white looked at me with his mouth half open

The boy with the hat on upside down had thanaka on his face. His entire face is completely white. I don't know if this is normal or too much paint for the boy. The boys around him didn't seem to find it odd, so this seems to be the usual for this boy.

It is not unusual for people in Myanmar to have their faces completely white, and not just in Pyay. What is interesting is that everyone goes out with a white face, not only in private spaces like home. So, local people don't pay attention to it, but as a foreigner, I can't help but notice people with pure white faces.
