How to show Different time(user created date) in different countries.

Question is pretty simple but i am struggling a lot to get it solve. Let me give a simple example,

  1. User has been created (Date is store in UTC format i guess).

2)When i go to User profile panel where i have shown "You joined at" , its gives me different time as i stay in India because time is stored in UTC. [This can be solved easily by changing TIMEZONE].

3)Now the problem is, My client is located at USA .

Now, How can i set dynamically set timezone. This may be stupid questing but i am expecting some useful answers. Thanks for your support and amazing Videos. Its really worth subscribing Laracast.

I am not willing to store time zones in my database. See this Laracast forum, Its tells exactly when you gave reply, it doesn't depend on our location or timezone. Laracast haven't ask me to select timezone while joining. I dont know how @JeffreyWay did this but there should be some simple solution to it . Meanwhile I will try http://thisbythem.com/blog/clientside-timezone-detection/ . Thanks for support.
