Under one of those Ariel roots.

That's the curse of the Thai, those tight internodes. That will probably be the safest, where you won't hurt any meristem. Obviously don't chop off that root lol. I think the node above is too tight and you might harm future growth. And sanitize your shears!!!

I know 😅 all the new growth are so close to the aerial roots but at least the aerial roots are fully grown in the soil so hopefully it will be okay, thank you 😊
