Sadly your desire to see a slow loris is the primary reason the animals get into the situation you wish to avoid. There are only two ways to see a slow loris, hiking at night with a knowledgeable naturalist guide or in a cage / with street handlers.

The Gibbon Rehabilitation Project near Bang Pae waterfall just inside the island’s Khao Phra Thaeo national park houses:
about 70 animals including gibbons, slow lorises and dusky langurs
How to get to grp.

Chances of actually seeing a slow loris is slim, as loris are nocturnal and the center is open to visitors during the daytime only.

GRP is not a zoo with animals in cages for your viewing pleasure. They put the animals back into a natural environment to prepare for possible release back into the wilds. So any loris would likely be tucked away in the branches and hard to spot.

@Tom Sadly, I believe their slow loris release rate is zero, or next to zero - but that's no reason not to give them as natural environment as possible.

Yes loris from street handlers have often had their primary teeth pulled, so have dietary needs not always found in the wild.
